living and working environment that will maintain flight crew morale and 

 motivation at a high level. The Habitability Research Program was devised 

 to provide information in the areas of interest shown in Table II . Mr. Harry 

 Watters, NASA, and Dr. Edward Wortz, Garrett Corporation were responsible 

 for leading the research program effort in the Habitability Research Program. 

 The results of this program are described in their section of this report.

Food 



Because food and mealtime is such a morale factor, preferences and changes in 

 these preferences were carefully noted . The importance of nutritional value, 

 taste and appearance were all recognized. In addition, mealtime provides an 

 opportunity for other social and work relationships and for well earned 

 relaxation. Reactions of crew members to space foods and other types of 

 packaged foods was considered to be an important study area for TEKTITE II. 



Sleep Areas 



The design of sleep areas to provide maximum rest with minimum interference 

 is important for crew well being, morale, and safety. Methods for making 

 crowded crew quarters, including sleeping arrangements, more acceptable
