Aims:
- Conduct a Literature Review and Meta-Analysis to identify the parameters that impact operator performance for long-duration mission operations by using formal meta-analysis methods. In the meta-analysis include workload issues that span the spectrum of micro- to macro-levels of analysis and how workload builds from discrete task performance into long-duration task performance. Also consider the relationship between workload and circadian rhythm that arise when workload extends beyond discrete tasks.
- Develop a model-based tool to predict astronaut performance in long-duration missions.
- Empirically validate the model-based tool to address major gaps in the meta-analysis.
Risk Mitigation/Partial Mitigation:
This research will partially mitigate the Risk of Inadequate Critical Task Design by addressing concerns about performance decrements in a long duration mission environment caused by astronauts experiencing fatigue and poor sleep.
