Assessment of the effects of isolation, confinement and hypoxia on spaceflight piloting performance for future space missions – The SIMSKILL experiment in Antarctica.
Acta Astronaut. 2021 Feb;179:471-83. Epub 2020 Nov 20.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/
Note: From the abstract: “…the SIMSKILL Experiment aims to investigate how spacecraft piloting performance decays over time by deploying a Soyuz flight simulator on the Antarctic research stations Halley VI and Concordia, which feature similar living conditions as those of a space mission, leading eventually to muscular atrophy, loss of cognitive capacities, and reduction of psycho-motor skills.”
