IAASS Short Course on Implications of Increasingly Earth-Independent Operations on Operational Performance and Safety
25 May 2023; Time: 08:30 – 12:30
Location: OBIC – Osaka, Room #2 (Details will be sent to the registered participants)
This short course is an initiative of the Human Performance and Health Technical Committee of the IAASS. Our current operational models—where crew are heavily tied to ground control—must evolve as missions become increasingly distant. Recent estimates of round-trip communication delay with lunar crews’ average ~ 6 seconds. It is unknown how, or if, this communication latency will affect operational performance and safety. This interactive short course will explore potential consequences of a paradigm shift toward increasingly Earth-independent operations and possible countermeasures to the decrease in ground support, especially for safety critical events.
