There is a robust and effective psychological support system on the ISS. Future exploration missions however will expose the crew to unprecedent hazards, included extended durations of isolation and confinement, distance from earth, galactic cosmic radiation. Research in spaceflight and terrestrial analogs demonstrate that while most participants remain psychologically healthy and high performing, some risks do emerge, including declines in positive adaptation and emotion recognition. We must understand and implement the right countermeasures to support the psychological health and performance in future exploration missions. Future challenges include high fidelity research platforms and characterizing effects of multiple hazards.
