Abstract Much is known about psychological and interpersonal issues affecting astronauts participating in manned space missions near the Earth. But in a future long-distance, long-duration expedition to Mars, additional stressors will occur that will result in psychological, psychiatric, and interpersonal effects on the crew, both negative and positive. This paper will review what is known about important psychosocial issues in space and will extrapolate them to the scenario of a future manned space mission to Mars.
Highlights Psychosocial issues during near-Earth missions have been well-studied. In a Mars expedition, additional stressors will occur whose effects are not well-known. These effects will be both negative and positive. This paper will extrapolate what is known about psychosocial issues to a Mars expedition. Issues considered include psychological, psychiatric, interpersonal, and cultural factors.
