Control loops with human operators in space operations: part I: human engineering analysis, synthesis and evaluation techniques

This report is a tutorial overview for the European Space Agency (ESA) of human engineering approaches and methodologies which are applicable for analysis of performance of human-machine systems, with specific emphasis on space teleoperator applications. Motivated by the presumed active role of the human operator in future space teleoperation...

Control loops with human operators in space operations: part III: rendezvous and docking operations and model analysis of performance with human-in-the-loop

This report presents the results of an illustrative analysis of human-in-the-loop rendezvous and docking (RVD) performance, for the purpose of demonstrating the practicality of applying human engineering methods and techniques, introduced in Part I of this project, to the analysis of control loops with human operators in space operations....
