Isolation, confinement and separation from loved ones can challenge even the most experienced teams. In space, these pressures shape how people communicate, work together and maintain their wellbeing over months away from Earth.
Join Nick Kanas as he explores the psychological and interpersonal challenges of spaceflight, drawing on decades of research with astronauts, cosmonauts and mission control teams. From leadership and cultural differences to managing tension and supporting crew morale, this webinar examines what helps people live and work together in demanding environments.
Nick also considers the challenges of future missions to Mars, where communication delays and losing sight of Earth could change how crews experience isolation and access support. Throughout the session, he connects spaceflight research with practical lessons for expedition medicine and teams working in remote environments on Earth.
