A study to identify critical technologies relating to spacecraft habitability was performed. Five technologies were identified which were worthy of continuous study because of their magnitude or because it was considered continuous updating of latest terrestrial developments was required. These 'ongoing' technologies were: new methods of food processing and new kinds of space food; space motion sickness, identifying prevention; radiation, acceptable life time limits; provision of artificial gravity; habitation mockup. Latest developments in these technologies, both in space and on Earth are reviewed.
