Developing an objective field-of-view methodology for studying vehicle window placement has been somewhat difficult. It is not surprising that considerable effort has been directed at specific problems of visibility from vehicles. Aeronautical design engineers know when designing an aircraft cockpit, the pilot must have an adequate view for approaching and landing on an airfield. However, compromise between the ergonomic preference for the largest possible viewing envelope and the practicalities of arranging a structure that is lightweight and strong will always plague the cockpit’s transparent area’s size and shape. The human’s visual sense, when operating any kind of vehicle, is the main source of the vast majority of information needed to drive or fly safely. However, vehicle design can affect a driver’s visual performance for satisfying their need for information. For any vehicle, be it an automobile or a spacecraft, the visibility quantity is the sum total of the visual access to the environment as defined by the window placement of that vehicle. The Alternate Multiple Mission Space Exploration Vehicle (AMMSEV) configuration is much like a large cargo truck where there is no direct visual access to the rear of the vehicle or the rear sides of the vehicle; thus, making the forward and side views of greater importance to the situational awareness of the crew if obstructions are creating visual issues. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) tested a new theoretical model for Field-of-View (FOV) of spacecraft windows in NASA’s own Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). The NBL is an essential tool for design, testing and development of future space exploration hardware for upcoming NASA operational missions. Using water, with its natural propensity for giving a human the perception of dynamic body motion under a weightless or partial gravity conditions, gives human factors investigators a vigorous space-like environment to study new methods of collecting dynamic field-of-view for future exploration vehicle designs.
