Aims:
The overall aim of the proposed study is to determine whether the communications delays likely to be experienced on a mission to Mars will result in clinically or operationally significant decrements in crew behavior and performance. As a first phase of a planned two-phase investigation, we hope to accomplish the following utilizing analog environments (which are further described below):
Aim 1: Determine the feasibility and acceptability of conducting such a study in ground-based analogs and aboard the International Space Station.
Aim 2: Determine if there is an association between delays in communication experienced during a Mars mission is associated with decrements in individual and crew behavior and performance
Aim 3: Identify confidence intervals for determining range of communication delays to be examined in subsequent ISS increments.
