Space Operations

Space Systems and Crew Suitability

Space shuttle productivity and error prevention. Analyzed human-initiated incidents in orbiter vehicle turnaround operations to identify contributing factors. Developed a plan for error prevention and enhanced operational effectiveness which addresses incentives, communications, coordination, mental preparedness, training, procedural issues, disciplinary strategy, fatigue, human factors engineering, and organizational factors. (Rockwell International)

Space station habitability design recommendations. Conducted a systematic comparative analysis of conditions analogous to a NASA space station. The method involved literature reviews concerning conditions of isolation and confinement (e.g., Antarctic research stations, submarines, Skylab, etc.), and detailed interviews with operational personnel. Results were used to develop habitability design recommendations to enhance human performance during long-duration space missions. (NASA, Ames Research Center)

Design of inter-planetary space craft and lunar bases. Conducted a study to identify performance measures for remotely monitoring the psychological adjustment of crew personnel to isolated and confined habitats. The study focuses on Antarctic research stations and long-duration expeditions as analogues. Developed habitability recommendations to guide the design of lunar bases and space craft intended for a mission to Mars. (NASA-Johnson Space Center)

Human factors support to the European Space Agency. Provided human factors design support to Avions Marcel Dassault, Aeritalia, and the European Space Agency (ESA) regarding space craft design issues for extended duration space missions. Provided design recommendations for space stations, lunar bases, and interplanetary space craft. Contributed to ESA's HABEMSI study team, which included a cosmonaut, a spationaute, an architect, a physician, a physiologist, and an anthropologist.

Design of military rail cars. Provided human factors support to the Rail Garrison program. Coordinated a 32-day study of human performance and adjustment to conditions of isolation and confinement. Managed a team of engineers, worked closely with Air Force and contractor personnel, developed and implemented performance and habitability measures, and conducted/coordinated 24-hour audio-video monitoring of 23 human subjects during the performance of four simulated Rail Garrison missions. (Rockwell International)

The Relative Importance of Behavioral Issues in Isolation and Confinement. Conducted a study for NASA to identify behavioral issues associated with long duration isolation and confinement at the French Antarctic base at Dumont d'Urville and at remote duty stations in the Indian Ocean. Performed a content analysis of the diaries maintained for this purpose by the expedition leaders and physicians as part of the International Antarctic Psychological Program. The research involved the cooperation of NASA, the French space agency (CNES), and the French Polar Institute (IFRTP/TAAF).
