Why  HI-­‐SEAS? To  miEgate  risk  on  long-­‐dura*on,  high-­‐latency  missions.  

• High-­‐fidelity  mission  profile  and  environment.  

• Site  that  allows  both  crew  isolaEon  and  easy  access  year-­‐round.  

• Astronaut-­‐like  crews.  • Track  crew  cogniEve  and  team  performance  through  collaboraEve  field  tasks.

Going  forward

• Ground-­‐truth  the  tasks  to  provide  control  results.  Create  addiEonal  tasks  for  the  longer  missions.  

•  Enhance  fidelity  and  add  funcEonality  through  opportunisEc  collaboraEon  (e.g.,  geophysics  studies,  roboEcs,  etc.).  

•  Improve  understanding  of  autonomous  crew  EVA  operaEons  on  high-­‐latency,  long-­‐duraEon  missions.
