Housekeeping

Housekeeping in an underwater habitat is a crucial part of habitability. It plays a primary role in maintaining the cleanliness of the habitat and thus the crew’s health and safety, which will consequently boost their morale, comfort, and productivity.

This chapter is divided into the following sections:

  • General Considerations
  • Habitat Specific Risk Areas
  • Contamination Sources
  • Housekeeping Tools
  • Housekeeping Minimization through System Design
  • Past and Present Housekeeping in On-Orbit Operations

Our extensive analysis and proposals are part of the design manual.
