Supporting the Mind in Space: Psychological Tools for Long-Duration Missions

As humanity pushes further into space, the psychological well-being of astronauts becomes as critical as the technical aspects of a mission [1]. Long-duration missions, including those on future Mars and lunar habitats, present unique challenges beyond just the physical demands [2]. Astronauts face months, even years, of isolation, confinement, communication delays, and microgravity in an extreme environment that is, from multiple perspectives, “hostile” to human life.

Evidence Supporting the Management of Medical Conditions During Long-Duration Spaceflight: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Evidence Supporting the Management of Medical Conditions During Long-Duration Spaceflight: Protocol for a Scoping Review

To enhance space crew members’ autonomy in the management of acute mission-critical events, and to minimize health issues and degradation in space, a decision-aid system must be developed to support astronauts’ medical autonomy. This system would help support the management of crewmembers’ health during a mission, and the planning and development of high-priority medical technologies and capabilities for extended space exploration.
