Some example topics that might fall under the scope of operational habitability for International Space Station (ISS) include the following: 

• Habitability equipment/workstations (e.g., design, quantity, and location of sleep quarters) 
• Environmental conditions (e.g., illumination, noise, habitable volume) 
• Integration of hardware/equipment implementation with operational context (e.g., implementation of a stowage plan that maintains acceptable levels of efficiency, safety, comfort; interaction between ISS layout and traffic patterns). 
• Other factors including hygiene, privacy, food and dining, trash, recreation, sleep/rest, architecture, waste collection, stowage, and group interaction. 

Specific tasks could include: 

1. Compiling ISS mission Summaries 
2. Assisting in post-flight crew debriefing process and activities
