Prolonged exposure to isolation and confinement may lead to inadequate functioning within a team. There is evidence of occasional conflict within crews preflight and in-flight, within and across International Space Station (ISS) partner subgroups. There is evidence of significant impacts on individual and team performance, stress, and cohesion caused by communication delays and coordination inefficiencies between the crew and ground support. There is also evidence of occasional team preparedness deficiencies during preflight and in-flight due to switching between individual and team activities, and team and technical skill decay. NASA Astronaut selection has successfully incorporated individual-level assessments of team skills and capabilities, but crew composition is not data-driven. Team training and performance are not systematically monitored nor evaluated.
