An exciting and authoritative discussion of the latest advances in the technology required for space travel and space exploration

In Space Architecture: Principles, Challenges, and Innovations, experienced architect and designer Daniel Inocente delivers a comprehensive exploration of the design and development of habitats and infrastructure required to support human life in space. The book offers readers a thorough description of the principles, challenges, and solutions currently animating discussions in this emerging field.

Beginning with an introduction that establishes the central importance of space architecture, Inocente explains the interdisciplinary nature of the field and demonstrates how integrated knowledge from engineering, architecture, environmental science, and psychology are coming together to build a spacefaring future for humanity.

Readers will also find: - A thorough introduction to space habitat design, including discussions of pre-integrated, prefabricated, and in-situ derived habitats
- Comprehensive explorations of the environmental challenges posed by space and space travel, including microgravity, extreme temperatures, vacuum, and ionizing radiation
- Practical discussions of space destinations, like low-earth orbit, deep space, moons, and planets
- Complete treatments of mobility architecture, including surface mobility systems and lunar terrain vehicles

Perfect for both architecture and aerospace professionals, Space Architecture: Principles, Challenges, and Innovations will also benefit researchers with an interest in space architecture, students of architecture, aerospace engineering, or space studies, and laypeople enthusiastic about space travel and space exploration.
