Information Requirements and Methodology for Development of an EVA Crewmember's Heads Up Display

This paper presents a systematic approach for developing a Heads Up Display (HUD) to be used within the helmet of the Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) crewmember. The information displayed on the EVA HUD will be analogous to EVA Flight Data File (FDF) information, which is an integral part of NASA's current space Transportation System. Another objective is to determine information requirements and media techniques ultimately leading to the helmet-mounted HUD presentation technique.
