The psychological and physiological factors affecting manned space flight were studied. The various psychological factors (tension, fatigue, motivation) and physiological factors (exhaustion, vision, hearing, tactile sensation) are examined as they relate to man's performance in decision-making, perception of information, and problem-solving. The conclusion is reached that man forms a vital link in the control system of spacecraft and, in certain respects, performs inherently better than purely automated systems. THe various applications of manned space flight are also discussed including agriculture, meteorology, forestry, and mining. (Author)
