Psychology and Culture During Long-Duration Space Missions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
On Orbit and Beyond

Part of the book series: Space Technology Library ((SPTL,volume 29))

Abstract

The objective of this chapter is twofold: (a) to review the current knowledge of cultural, psychological, psychiatric, cognitive, interpersonal, and organizational issues that are relevant to the behavior and performance of astronaut crews and ground support personnel and (b) to make recommendations for future human space missions, including both transit and planetary surface operations involving the Moon or Mars. The focus will be on long-duration missions lasting at least 6 weeks, when important psychological and interpersonal factors begin to take their toll on crewmembers. This information is designed to provide guidelines for astronaut selection and training, in-flight monitoring and support, and post-flight recovery and re-adaptation.

Adaptation of Kanas et al. (2009), reprinted with permission from Elsevier. This chapter is a shortened version of a study group report sponsored by the International Academy of Astronautics. The complete study group report was printed by the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine, Cologne, Germany as: Kanas (2009).
