MendozaSubject: System Safety and Mission Assurance: Adequate Human Factors and Crew Training for Space Missions Abstract: Not having high fidelity hard
2、ware simulations and procedures to train the crew will result in deficient human factors and in-operable equipment on-orbit. Description of Driving Event: STS 90/Neurolab was a Spacelab module mission focusing on the effects of microgravity on the nervous system. The mission was flown abroad the Col
3、umbia and launched on the 17 of April 1998 and lasted 17 days. The goals of Neurolab were to study basic research questions and to increase the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for neurological and behavioral changes in space. The mission was a joint venture of several space agencies and
4、U.S. research agencies including the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research, as well as the space agencies of Canada, France, Germany, and Japan, and the European Space Agency. While the Neurolab mission was an overall success, it experienced
5、 several on-orbit hardware failures and problems that could have been minimized or prevented had adequate crew training been accomplished. In fact, the crew had not been used several of the flight system configurations until on-orbit. Lesson(s) Learned: Not having high fidelity hardware simulations
6、and procedures to train the crew will result in deficient human factors and in-operable equipment on-orbit. On-orbit is not a good time to expose the crew to a system for the first time.

7、s): All missions must develop detailed crew training processes that ensure crew inputs and human factors are efficiently provided into all system designs. All systems requiring crew interface must be tested prior to being used on-orbit in an environment that includes members of both the flight and g
