Abstract

Psychological aspects of long-term space flight are explored. European and U.S. space programs are contrasted. Human factors training programs address basic human factors training and crew-oriented psychological mission preparation. During the second phase, carefully selected crews focus on support of a team-building process and improvement of crew coordination skills, preventive reduction of inflight crew-load by anticipatory problem-solving, and development of supporting crew skills and preparation of inflight support activities. Elements of the training program were used in preparation of German members of a 1993 European Space Agency confinement study.
