Amadee-24-Pressure
Details
| Acronym | PRESSURE |
| Description | Crew stress simulation -emergency situation (technical/medical type) where teams will have to organize and execute a rescue operation during an EVA. The emergency scenario will consist of a combined technical and not serious medical condition.The technical problem will be simulated by time constrained problem-solving tasks. |

Summary
Astronauts are often exposed to an extreme environment, several health risks, and stressors. They all influence the astronaut’s performance including neurocognitive, mood and behavioral problems. Extra-vehicular activities (EVA) are one of the most dangerous tasks. Therefore, it is important to identify and mitigate the risks and challenges associated with EVAs
The terrestrial ‘Golden Period’ emergency concept is one that will also be applicable to planetary EVA emergencies. Training and practicing this concept are crucial for space mission success. These emergencies may happen as a result technical malfunctions,medical circumstances, environmental danger, etc.
This experiment aims to establish emergency simulation scenarios during EVAs where cognitive, emotional, and psychosocial skills will be relevant. The performances of the analog astronauts as well as their teamwork will be analyzed and emergency protocols for EVA emergencies will be tested.
During simulated EVA emergency scenarios different aspects of response to these emergencies by the crew (psychological, cognitive, problem solving, team dynamics) will be studied. Special focus will lie on emergencies where fast, accurate problem solving, and calculation may be needed to solve some strategic or vital equipment. In order to solve those problems in a timely manner, cognitive processing, task solving, and teamwork will be necessary.
