本研究的目的是调查人类可能在太空环境中执行的潜在制造任务的性质。天基制造的成功被认为是人类在太空永久存在的前兆。这项研究的一个工作假设是，在SBM环境中的人类工作将与陆地制造业工作有很大不同。为了研究这一假设，开发了一种案例分析方法，该方法采用了一种具有代表性的SBM过程的功能分配和任务分析：定制工业晶体的生产。选择这种研究方法是因为SBM工程设计的当前状态处于系统生命周期的概念和早期流程图阶段。任务分析和功能分配过程的结果表明，对纠正性维护功能和异常系统状况的响应应分配给人工，而不是自动化。这些结果进行了讨论，与长期人类存在的SBM环境中的人为因素工程的挑战。
The purpose of the present research was to investigate the nature of potential manufacturing tasks humans may execute in a space environment. The success of space-based manufacturing (SBM) is suggested to be a precursor to permanent human presence in space. A working hypothesis for this study was that human work in the SBM environment would be substantially different from terrestrial manufacturing work. To investigate this hypothesis, a case analysis approach was developed that employed a function allocation and task analysis of a representative SBM process: the production of tailored industrial crystals. This research approach was chosen as the current state of engineering design for SBM is in the conceptual and early flow sheeting phases of a system life cycle. Results of the task analysis and function allocation process suggest response to corrective maintenance functions and to abnormal system conditions should be allocated to humans as opposed to automation. These results are discussed in relation to human factors engineering challenges associated with long-duration human presence in an SBM environment.
