BIBLIOGRAPHY

The Space Settlement Design Competition library includes more than 200 books, over half of which are brought by the co-founders to each International Finalist Competition.

Books in the library provide information on a wide variety of topics important to the design of human communities in space, including environments and resources in space, design of spacecraft and structures in space, hazards to humans, infrastructure requirements and aesthetic factors in design of communities for humans, and use of computers and robots.

Some of our favorites in the library are listed below; these are the books we consult most often when preparing Competition materials and answering participant questions. The Competition organizers know that your team can create a winning Qualifying Competition proposal without access to these books (indeed, some are out of print and are difficult to find). This list is provided to give you an indication of the written materials that are available, the types of information that can be useful to you in assembling your design, and topics that the judges feel are important.
