Weiss H, Stirling L.Augmented reality assessments to support human spaceflight performance evaluation.Aerosp Med Hum Perform. 2024 Nov;95(11):831-40.PI: L. StirlingNote: From the abstract: “As next-generation space exploration missions require increased autonomy from crews, real-time diagnostics of astronaut health and performance are essential for mission operations, especially for determining extravehicular activity readiness. An augmented reality (AR) system may be a viable tool allowing holographic visual cueing to replace physical objects used in traditional assessments.”

Pischulti PK, Duke TL, Smith AL, Klaus DM, Amick RZ.Surveying and assessing ‘smart’ technologies to identify potential applications for deep space human exploration missions.Acta Astronaut. 2024 Sep 1;222:534-49.Note: From the abstract: “Human exploration of Mars and beyond will demand unprecedented levels of self-sufficiency due to the exceedingly far distances from Earth and lengthy mission durations. As such, astronaut crews must be able to function in a progressively autonomous manner, as they will be unable to rely on timely logistical resupply and/or operational guidance from ground-based mission support teams. One means of increasing autonomy is by incorporating intelligent (i.e., smart) technologies into the mission architecture and habitat design.”

This paradigm shift will require the development of novel anomaly response architectures to protect future crews adequately from anomalies and failures. In this paper we outline and demonstrate a process to identify and evaluate key factors that affect the anomaly response process for deep space operations
