• Address the critical psychological and psychosocial challenges faced by crew members during extended spaceflights, such as isolation, confinement, disrupted sleep, monotony, and forced interpersonal relationships, and how these impact their well-being and mission success.

• Examine the longitudinal effects of prolonged space missions on human behaviour and group cohesion, especially for missions extending up to one month, such as those on the International Space Station or future Lunar Gateway visits.

Develop predictive models to understand and anticipate the social networks and individual well-being within astronaut teams, which are crucial for successful long- and medium-duration space exploration missions.

• Examine how individual well-being affects team contributions and how team members’ engagement or disengagement under stress can impact overall team resilience and mission success.
