Flight crews are more than just the sum of the members' individual technical skills. They are dynamic and constantly changing systems of interacting units. The critical factor in this system is the interaction process. Factors which affect this interaction process are design considerations critical to the successful operation of the human system in space. Future space missions will be longer and will involve more routine tasks. Crews will be larger and more heterogeneous. These conditions make proper consideration of group dynamics principles imperative. Formal design of future space missions, should consider critical design factors which promote the group process. The real change to current NASA mission design suggested by this report is that greater consideration be given to the informal processes characteristic of the human system. Consideration of these factors will pay large dividends in terms of human system performance and neglect of these factors will incur costs.
