Abstract
The basis for this report was President Bush's
proclamation that the u.S. should land astronauts on
Mars by 2019 A.D. In such a trip, astronauts would be
in a weightless environment for a considerable length of
time. This report examines different conditions and
environments that could cause stress during such a long
duration space mission. Both psychological and
physiological conditions are examined and the human
factors implications of those potential problems are
discussed. Finally, recommendations are made as to
potential countermeasures
and/or standards that should
be followed.
