EVAN TWYFORD: Three dimensional design for me was

always kind of the greatest form of creation.

Being able to take an idea from that very tiny amount of

energy, being this idea in your head, and then

Take that a step further, I always kind of wanted to

design the ultimate three dimensional object, right?

And so designing space vehicles, to me, was like that

It's like, what's the bad ass thing you could design would

And NASA really was kind of the final frontier for me.

My name's Evan Twyford, and I'm a habitability designer at

A lot of these projects are coming down as major kind of

campaign level design projects, where they're saying

We've got this idea, and we want you guys to

Starting off with sketching and rendering, very

Take it to a full scale mock up phase out of wood, foam

We use those to kind of sketch out the volume of how big the

vehicle might be, and how it would feel on the inside.

Part of what we'll do when we're designing a habitat is

we'll look at how the corners, how the edges are treated.

What type of paint schemes are going to go inside.

There was actually an issue with one of the colors that

they had painted on the International Space Station,

where one of the hatches was like a salmon color.

And the crew really disliked it, so we try to

And then working out the details in a CAD system on the

computer, and developing a fully functional prototype.

And the type of design at NASA that we do kind of crosses the

So it's a lot more problem solving, though, which is what

So this is the SEV, the Space Exploration Vehicle on the

For interior design for space vehicles, there is certainly

the problem of confinement, which is a psychological issue

So we have to deal with ways of designing environments and

designing products that will reduce the effects of feelings

So this is the interior of the SEV rover gen 1B, and most of

the interior design elements was a product of our team, as

well the robotics team that we've been working with on

And we've kind of been charged with making the interior of

the vehicle more comfortable, more luxurious, if you can

Seeing as most of us haven't actually been to outer space,

it can make things very difficult sometimes, because

everybody has a different opinion, or different

assumptions that they're making about what that

So it's a very testing and evaluation intensive work

So we have to do whatever we can to ensure that these

products will work in their intended environment.

So sometimes that means flying products, or mock ups on zero

gravity flight in the parabolic aircraft.

Sometimes it means going out into the desert and testing

them in a very harsh, kind of desolate environment that

might be similar to what we would encounter in space.

There's always that kind of thing with designers between

are you going to be like, a stylist, or are you going to

And you can look at a product and say this accomplishes

exactly what we need it to accomplish, and that's what

makes it beautiful, and that's what makes it successful.

It's a very pure design problem that we're dealing

with, which is to create products and environments that

the crew will find useful, and will make them successful and

EVAN TWYFORD: The shuttle program and the International

Space Station were started in the '80s as sort of a longer

term analog for human space flight, and establishing a

To start to learn more about how humans would behave and

interact in longer term space flight scenarios.

I've kind of felt like a lot of people in general are maybe

not as excited by the International Space Station,

Or at least not as much as they were maybe in the '80s,

I just hope that we can really re-engage people in the right
