“…In addition, significant work is ongoing to determine how best to conceptualize and measure team cohesiveness in a meaningful way and capture affective states over time (e.g., Wu et al, 2013). Further, work is going on to clarify the "social roles" that crew members need to fulfill in addition to their technical roles (e.g., Mathieu et al, 2014;Roma et al, 2013).…”

Researchers from a variety of disciplines are currently working with NASA to prepare for human exploration of Mars in the next decades. Such exploration will take scientific discovery to new heights, providing unprecedented information about the geology, atmosphere, and potential for life on Mars, including previous life, current life, and perhaps even our own lives in the future. To make these unparalleled discoveries, however, astronauts will need to undertake a novel and unprecedented journey. Moreover, the mission to Mars will require a team of crew members who will have to endure and sustain team performance requirements never seen before.Imagine living and working in a small, confined space with five other teammates for over a year. Your team needs to complete a series of scientific experiments and perform other rigorous tasks, eventually exploring a distant location in a dangerous, even life-threatening mission. If you are successful, you will then spend 6 months "commuting" home in the same confined quarters and challenging conditions. During this assignment, headquarters cannot provide you with quick advice or coaching, because there is up to a 20-minute communication delay (one-way), but you still need to coordinate as a team with the people back at headquarters. From a personal perspective, during these 2 to 3 years, you cannot see Earth, feel gravity, or spend time with your family. And if you or any of your teammates are having a bad 566448C DPXXX10.
