Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:
Develop a countermeasure that utilizes virtual reality for support/adaptation of the crew during a long duration mission.

ANSIBLE – A Network of Social Interactions for Bilateral Life Enhancement, is a communication and social support toolset which enables multi-faceted human-human and human-virtual agent interactions designed to accommodate technical and environmental limitations of long duration space flight.

This is an SBIR Phase 2 project.
An SBIR Phase 2 Enhancement (2E) was awarded to the SBIR firm, SMART Information Flow Technologies (SIFT), to extend the ANSIBLE virtual reality platform into the realm of telehealth as a communication tool that promotes a therapeutic alliance between therapists and their clients. The SIFT PI changed from Peggy Wu to Jeremy Gottlieb.

Category: Countermeasure
Subcategory: Prototype Hardware or Software

Description:
Prototype software system for supporting teams on exploration missions. Phase I anticipated in 2013, Phase II in 2014-2015. Additional time allowed for further refinement/development/enhancement as technology is matured in preparation for transition to operations, or in preparation for use in future missions.

Mappings

Risk of Adverse Cognitive or Behavioral Conditions and Psychiatric Disorders

BMed7: We need to identify and validate effective methods for modifying the habitat/vehicle environment to mitigate the negative psychological and behavioral effects of environmental stressors (e.g., isolation, confinement, reduced sensory stimulation) likely to be experienced in the long duration spaceflight environment.

BMed8: We need to understand how personal relations/interactions (family, friends and colleagues) affect astronauts’ behavioral health and performance during exploration class missions.

ANSIBLE: A Network of Social Interactions for Bilateral Life Enhancement

Risk of Performance and Behavioral Health Decrements Due to Inadequate Cooperation, Coordination, Communication, and Psychosocial Adaptation within a Team

Team Gap 3: We need to identify a set of countermeasures to support team function for all phases of autonomous, long duration and/or distance exploration missions.
