During spaceflight, human performance can be deeply affected by physical, psychological and psychosocial stressors. Strict selection, intensive training and adequate operational rules are used then to fight performance degradation and to prepare individuals and teams to effectively manage systems failures and challenging emergencies.

Endorsed by the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety (IAASS) and drawing on the expertise of the world’s leading experts in the field, Space Safety and Human Performance is primarily centered on human on-board but also covers operators of control centers on ground and behavior aspects of complex organizations, thus addressing the entire spectrum of space actors. This unique book provides a comprehensive reference for engineers and technical managers within aerospace and high technology companies, space agencies, operators, and consulting firms.
