Issues Facing Crew Selection for Long Duration Space Flight Missions
This paper looks at the issues facing the selection and composition of a crew for a long-duration mission to Mars. It also considers the many psychological and physiological challenges that crew members will face on long-duration space flight. These factors are important because the United States ha...
