Based on the author's more than 50 years of experience in space-related activities writing, conducting research, and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, the book follows a comprehensive range of topics that include: cognitive effects; psychiatric issues; cultural influences; salutogenic and positive aspects of space travel; autonomy and delayed communication; current plans to return to the Moon and Mars; analysis of study environments such as the polar regions, submersible habitats, and space simulation facilities; and more. It draws on research, literature, and case studies from the 1950s onward, showing readers in a natural and accessible way how the field has progressed over time.
The book contains ample end-of-chapter summaries and exercises as well as a complete glossary of key terms. As such, it will serve students taking courses in aerospace psychology, psychiatry, sociology, human factors, medicine, and related social sciences, in addition to space industry professionals and others interested in the complexities of people living and working in space.
Dr. Kanas has studied and written about psychological and interpersonal issues affecting people working in space for over 50 years and has done space-related research since the late 1980s. For over 15 years thereafter he was an NSBRI and NASA-funded principal investigator, doing psychological research with astronauts and cosmonauts on the Mir and International Space Stations and in space simulators. He is a member and former trustee of the International Academy of Astronautics.
In 1999, Dr. Kanas received the Aerospace Medical Association Raymond F. Longacre Award for Outstanding Accomplishment in the Psychological and Psychiatric Aspects of Aerospace Medicine. In 2008, he received the International Academy of Astronautics Life Science Award. Together with Dr. Dietrich Manzey, he is the co-author of the book "Space Psychology and Psychiatry" (now in its 2nd edition), which was given the 2004 International Academy of Astronautics Life Science Book Award. His second book on space psychology, entitled "Humans in Space: The Psychological Hurdles," was given the 2016 International Academy of Astronautics Life Science Book Award.
