RESUMO
High G and weightlessness are two important environment factors that are unavoidable during spaceflight. They will bring key effects on astronauts' posture and working efficiency. In this paper, on the basis of experience of China first manned spacecraft project in the past 10 years, the concept of space ergonomics and its role in the project were reviewed. Ergonomic research items and corresponding methods were systematically analyzed with astronauts' working state, and ergonomic evaluation types and approaches were discussed with some given cases being used in the project. Finally, some suggestions were proposed on space man-machine system development according to recent ergonomic trend in space ergonomics and the basis of experience of first manned spacecraft project.
