Document Content Introduction

This NASA technical report (SP-413) presents a comprehensive design study for space colonization, resulting from a 1975 summer faculty fellowship program. Edited by Richard D. Johnson and Charles Holbrow, the 191-page document explores the technical feasibility of permanent human settlements in space, including physical properties of space, human needs, and system design. The study was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of professors and researchers sponsored by NASA and the American Society for Engineering Education, with contributions from Princeton physicist Gerard K. O'Neill.
