Report, "Habitability Study, Earth Orbital Space Stations, Prepared for NASA," 1968

Summary

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) enlisted Raymond Loewy/William Snaith, Inc. for its Skylab project. Loewy and his staff -- as habitability consultants -- created diagrams, drawings, mockups, and reports for how best to live and work in space. Not every idea was practical, but the designs helped NASA consider new ways to make the space station more human-friendly.
