Description
"This two-volume set covers organizational psychology and human factors in aerospace and other extreme environments. Organizational psychology and organizational science, human factors, psychology, and aerospace have matured in parallel since World War II. However, the practice at NASA has historically lagged behind. This book includes research oriented topics and perspectives. It introduces the challenges of spaceflight and conducting spaceflight research as they apply to organizational psychology and human factors. Chapters also describe cutting-edge research and development related to composing, training, and supporting teams that will live and work together for missions up to 2.5 years"--
