Quantifying and Predicting Operationally-Relevant Performance in a Long-Duration Spaceflight Analog

Last Published: 07/31/19 10:05:33 AM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Strangman, Gary

Short Title: Operational Performance Measures: ROBoT

Responsible HRP Element: Human Factors and Behavioral Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

Aim 1: Characterize operational task performance changes during 45-day HERA missions, including the roles of time-in-mission, workload, sleep debt, and operational emergencies.

Aim 2: Characterize brain and systemic physiology changes during 45-day HERA missions, including the roles of time-in-mission, workload, sleep debt, and operational emergencies.

Aim 3: Identify physiological or behavioral variables that predict operational performance.

Aim 4: Quantify the influence of behavioral health countermeasures on both operational performance and (neuro)physiological measures.

Description:

The knowledge-deliverables of this project will describe: (i) changes in operationally-relevant (ROBoT) performance during the HERA mission in a well-controlled analog study of substantial size; (ii) changes in cerebral and systemic physiology associated with HERA mission parameters as well as operational performance, (iii) identification of potential predictors of future ROBoT performance, and (iv) the influence of the investigated countermeasure(s) on operational performance and physiology.

Mappings

Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions and Psychiatric Disorders

CBS-BMed2: We need to identify and validate measures to monitor behavioral health and performance during exploration class missions to determine acceptable thresholds for these measures.

Quantifying and Predicting Operationally-Relevant Performance in a Long-Duration Spaceflight Analog

Risk of Performance Decrements and Adverse Health Outcomes Resulting from Sleep Loss, Circadian Desynchronization, and Work Overload

Sleep Gap 2: We need to understand the contribution of sleep loss, circadian desynchronization, extended wakefulness and work overload, on individual health (physical and behavioral), team functioning, and performance (including operational performance), for spaceflight.
