In the context of the planned NASA space station, it is anticipated that a number of problems will be posed by permanent residence in space. Not only will the intensive training which has characterized earlier manned programs diminish under the pressure of increased launch rates, but the new and larger crews will socially, educationally, psychologically and physiologically constitute a far more heterogeneous group than those of the past. In addition, advanced computer technology will result in a degree of reliance on onboard data processing which will alter the relations of ground and space operators, requiring careful integration of people and technologies. Attention is given to questions of food, robotics, extravehicular activity, hygiene and environmental noise.
