“…Reasonable consideration of these factors in the design of space station areas can improve people’s sense of psychological identity and stimulate work efficiency. Otherwise, the environment may lead to discomfort, reduced work efficiency and even operational errors, which may, in severe cases, endanger the crew’s safety [ 74 , 75 ]. Therefore, further research in this direction may also consider the spatial orientation of astronauts, information acquisition and judgement, as well as psychological feelings, among other aspects.…”

The hygiene area is one of the most important facilities in a space station. If its environmental lighting is appropriately designed, it can significantly reduce the psychological pressure on astronauts. This study investigates the effect of correlated colour temperature (CCT) on heart rate, galvanic skin response, emotion and satisfaction in the hygiene area of a space station. Forty subjects participated in experiments in a hygiene area simulator with a controlled lighting environment. The lighting conditions included 2700 K, 3300 K, 3600 K, 5000 K and 6300 K; physiological responses (heart rate, galvanic skin response), as well as emotion and satisfaction, were recorded. The results showed that CCT significantly influenced the participants’ physiological and subjective responses in the space station hygiene area. 6300 K led to the best emotion and satisfaction levels, the highest galvanic skin response and the lowest heart rate. The opposite was true for 2700 K.

“…The fundamental goal of keeping astronauts "alive, healthy, happy and productive" in a spaceflight environment sets the stage for defining the basic human physiological and psychological needs that underlie the engineering design requirements and operations of a space habitat (Klaus 2017). This design process also extends to experimental payloads needed to conduct research in space.…”
