Study on space station design elements for intra-vehicular navigation: A survey

Space station intra-vehicular navigation elements design is a new research focus arising in the field of space station ergonomics, to improve astronauts´ navigation ability in multi-module Space Station. The research progress of space station intra-vehicular navigation elements design was summarized and analyzed in this paper from three aspects: 3D interior configuration, interior design, and navigational aids. The derivation of space station intra-vehicular navigation elements design was introduced. After the method for navigation ability evaluation was discussed, research achievements on the effect of space station 3D interior configuration on human navigation ability were summarized, and research production and deficiency of space station interior design and navigational aids design for improvement of navigation ability were studied comprehensively. At last, the research directions in future were pointed out.
