Standard Measures for Use in Analog Studies, ISS, and Research for Long-Duration Exploration Missions  (2021)

This report summarizes the results of an effort that had the following primary aims:

1. Identify and recommend reliable, robust human factors performance measures (e.g. workload, fatigue, situation awareness, efficiency, accuracy, trust in automation) and methods for measurement relevant for spaceflight.

2. Evaluation of utility and feasibility for use in long duration exploration missions (LDEMs).

3. Identify candidate metrics for testing and evaluation in Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) and other analog missions. A literature review was conducted to evaluate the state-of-the-art human factors and crew state performance measures, including their reliability, repeatability and most efficient data collection methods. Interviews were conducted with Human Factors and Behavioral Performance (HFBP) Element Scientists, discipline scientists, other National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) experts, and military experts to solicit performance metrics that they recommend. General recommendations regarding the best metrics for use in spaceflight, Human Capabilities Assessments for Autonomous Missions (HCAAM), analogs, and other Human Research Program (HRP) studies are provided.
