Enhancing Performance and Communication for Distributed Teams During Lunar Spacewalks
Principal Investigator(s): Susannah Paletz
Funder: NASA - Johnson Space Center Other Federal
Research Areas: Future of Work > Human-Computer Interaction > Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
This NASA-funded project studies how mission control teams supervise astronauts during spacewalks, aiming to improve communication, manage risks, and enhance multi-team performance during Artemis EVAs. It will develop and validate countermeasures to address delays, cognitive demands, and distributed team challenges.
