Expedition-class space missions require enhanced information technology (IT) and communication strategies. Research focuses on improving ground control resource allocation and team-based IT use for better crew support during long-duration spaceflight.

Area of Science:

  • Space Exploration
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Mission Operations

Background:

  • Expedition-class missions present unique challenges for information flow due to distance, communication delays, and mission duration.
  • Traditional Mission Control reliance is insufficient; crews need greater autonomy and local resources.
  • Current information and communication technology (ICT) designs require adaptation for deep space exploration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how ground controllers manage communication bandwidth, cognitive resources, and knowledge sharing in time-critical situations.
  • To identify ICT improvements for adaptive bandwidth allocation and enhanced data/knowledge sharing in Mission Control.
  • To develop recommendations for ICT systems supporting crew autonomy and effective resource utilization.

  • Analysis of ground controller resource allocation strategies.
  • Focus on team-based information and communication technology (ICT) utilization.
  • Investigating the balance between local information access and remote expertise coordination.

Main Results:

  • Ground controllers face challenges in allocating bandwidth, cognitive resources, and knowledge sharing.
  • Improved ICT support is needed for shared context knowledge and dynamic assessment of information access.
  • Crew members require a deep understanding of mission information resources for effective utilization.

Conclusions:

  • Enhanced ICT systems are crucial for supporting human performance and system tolerances in exploration missions.
  • Future ICT designs must facilitate adaptive resource management and seamless information exchange.
  • Optimizing ICT is key to mitigating challenges posed by communication delays and increased crew autonomy.
