Abstract

Opportunities for Space Architecture are proliferating over time. As NASA architect and robotics engineer A Scott Howe, however, explains, a varied skill set is required to develop the right specialist expertise to become a space architect. Extreme environmental factors always have to be taken into consideration when designing for Space. These vary from lack of gravity, extreme variations in temperature and exposure to abrasive materials, such as lunar dust. Architects also need to develop an acute awareness of transportation systems and robotic constructions. It is, though, only with prototyping that designs, systems and materials can start to be tested.
