This booklet provides basic, quantitative human engineering design requirements in pictorial, tabular, and graphical format. It is to be used as a small portable handbook reference for users of NASA-STD-3000, Volume I. Since the primary purpose is to provide a portable reference, the principles, explanations, limitations, and application techniques associated with the data are intentionally omitted. In addition, while the headings for all requirements have been included, top-level requirements for all requirements headings, the text for non-specific requirements and those requirements considered in appropriate for "field use" have been omitted. Accordingly, this abbreviated presentation assumes that the user is familiar with the bases and limitations of the given data or will consult applicable references to insure appropriate application of the data.

Within the context of this handbook, "field use" is defined as the application of human performance standards relative to space module features, environments, hardware, and software. The "field" includes but is not limited to meetings, design reviews, crewstation reviews, sketch evaluations, software architecture reviews, demonstrations, etc. The data contained herein should be used to remind or point out applicable standards or requirements and aid in the inspection of environments, systems and subsystems.

In general, this booklet is a digest of material appearing in NASA-STD-3000, Volume I. The data herein is intended for field reference only. The user is therefore referred to that document and its reference for required supplementary information.
