  • Title: Human performance during spaceflight.
    Author: Manzey D, Lorenz B.
    Journal: Hum Perf Extrem Environ; 1999 Apr; 4(1):8-13. PubMed ID: 12182201.
    Abstract:
    The paper focuses on three different questions: (1) What attributes cause space to be an extreme environment for humans? (2) What do we know about mental performance during spaceflight? (3) What kinds of psychological countermeasures are currently applied and/or conceivable for prolonged spaceflight which might help maintain mental efficiency and stabilize the emotional state of astronauts? Topics discussed include stressors that originate in the space environment, stressors related to the space habitat and its life-support system, stressors related to the mission specific workload of astronauts, stressors that arise from the psychosocial situation in a space habitat, manual performance during spaceflight, and psychological countermeasures for prolonged spaceflight.
