Abstract

The effects of living and working in isolation and confinement on human behavior have been described by explorers and studied by scientists. This chapter summarizes efforts to derive lessons from expeditions of the past and from other space-analog experiences that might be applied to facilitate adjustment and sustained human performance during future long-duration space missions.
