	26	+Mars analog astronauts undergo a rigorous selection and training process to ensure crew
	27	+cohesion and mission success. However, even the healthiest, strongest individuals may face
	28	+psychological challenges due to various stressors in extreme or abnormal
	29	+environments. In our effort to further human space exploration in a safe and effective way,
	30	+we must thoroughly understand and protect the psychological well-being of the crew,
	31	+before, during, and after the analog mission.
	32	+
	33	+The PsychScale experiment aims to study crew member anxiety and depression levels before,
	34	+during and after the mission in order to better understand psychological well-being in response
	35	+to known and unknown environmental stressors. It further aims to study the correlation between
	36	+crew anxiety and depression levels and the possibility of a “third quarter phenomena” (TQP)
	37	+whereby the first quarter of the mission may be characterized by crew excitement or anxiety, the
	38	+second quarter by boredom and depression, and the third quarter by increased emotional
	39	+outbursts.
	40	+This experiment uses the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) – an internationally
	41	+recognized, validated questionnaire on anxiety and depression. Additionally, two open-ended
	42	+qualitative questions that allow the participant to inform the scientific team of any issues related
	43	+to individual or crew mental health are included.
