Physiological and Cognitive Exploration Simulation: Assessments of Physiology and Cognition in Hybrid Environment: A Novel Approach to Optimize the Future of Spacewalk SimulationsAs NASA plans to return to the Moon in the 2020's, with missions to Mars in the 2030's, extravehicular activities (EVAs)must be optimized due to the inherent 4-22 minute communication latency from Earth to Mars. Certain control functions previously executed by Mission Control must now be performed by astronauts, leading to a new operational paradigm or the future of mission operations. Consequently, future mission explorations will be more physically and cognitively demanding on both EV and IV personnel.
