Capability considerations for enhancing safety on long duration crewed missions: Insights from a technical interchange meeting on autonomous crew operations.
J Space Safety Eng. 2020 Mar 4. [Article in Press]
http://www.sciencedirect.com/
Note: From the abstract: “In August 2018, the Human Factors and Behavioral Performance Element of NASA’s Human Research Program convened a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) on Autonomous Crew Operations at NASA Ames Research Center to address how intelligent technologies can be utilized to augment crew capabilities to support real-time anomaly response. In this paper, we highlight three topic areas discussed at the TIM that have direct implications for future crew anomaly response capabilities: smart structures, cognitive assistants, and manpower.” This article may be obtained online without charge.
