Crewmembers of future space exploration missions will face many challenges associated with living and working in extreme conditions for prolonged periods of time. Thus, it is imperative to understand how spaceflight hazards impact mood and affect, cognitive functioning, and ultimately, operational performance. The Human Factors and Behavioral Performance Exploration Measures (HFBP-EM) suite is a set of standardized measures used to assess behavioral health and performance related to future exploration class space missions. HFBP-EM includes the Profile of Mood States (POMS) as a self-report measure of psychological distress, and the Robotic On-Board Trainer (ROBoT) as an operationally relevant task that simulates the capture and grappling maneuvers required to operate the Canadarm2 on the International Space Station. Although previous space analog studies have demonstrated fluctuations in mood and affect ratings assessed by the POMS (Basner, 2014), no studies to date have examined impacts on operationally relevant tasks. Here we investigate the relationship between POMS ratings and performance on the ROBoT task in space analog settings.
