HH&P and The Human Landing System

NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) Human Health and Performance (HH&P) focuses on the human as an integrated part of the overall system throughout all phases of the mission. By harnessing human capabilities through human-centered design, the system will enable the crew to identify and manage health risks, resolve contingencies, and complete mission objectives.

JSC HHP has unique capabilities including facilities and subject matter expertise to assist with vehicle certification requirements interpretation and can provide verification methods assistance for all human rating space flight requirements such as HEOMD-003 (NPR 8705.2C Human Rating Requirements for Space Systems) and NASA-STD-3001 Vol 2 Rev B  NASA Space Flight Human System Standard.

HHP experts can guide BAA respondents through the applicability of the human system standards, tailoring of verification plans, offer technical guidance and have available, manned spaceflight test facilities spanning a variety of expertise.
