Important material considerations relative to the design of habitable areas of manned spacecraft are examined. The issues considered include flammability, toxic offgassing, particulate generation, fungus growth, odor, and general corrosion. Specific material applications such as hook and loop (Velcro (trademark) type) fasteners and protective coatings for the interior of pressurized structures are also discussed relative to these issues. Greatest emphasis is shown to have been appropriately placed on characterizing material for flammability and toxic offgassing, areas where life threatening situations could occur if improper material selections are made. Less emphasis was placed on the areas of particulate generation and fungus growth. Unresolved issues were identified in all areas of the spacecraft.
