Tips for managing isolation and related challenges

Power Skills
Astrobiologist Dr. Michaela Musilova is the Director of the Hawaii - Space Exploration Analog and Simulation (HI-SEAS) station, which is designed to prepare astronauts, engineers, and scientists for life on the Moon or Mars.
HI-SEAS is located at 2,500 meters in elevation on the active volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii. It has initially been the home to successful long duration (4 to 12 month) NASA Mars simulation missions.
As of 2018, the International MoonBase Alliance (IMA) has opened up the research at HI-SEAS to worldwide research organizations, space agencies, and companies. During the simulated missions to the Moon and Mars at HI-SEAS, a six-person crew is isolated from the rest of humanity for long periods of time. This includes communication with “Earth” delays being imposed on them for up to 20 minutes each way.
The crew can only exit the habitat when they have permission from Mission Control on Earth while wearing analog spacesuits and going through full extravehicular activity (EVA) protocols.
Our current COVID-19 pandemic has put many people worldwide into a similarly isolated state at home, with limited possibilities to go outside and communicate with others. Dr. Musilova will share tips on how to deal with isolation and related challenges during these times, based on her experiences leading analog space missions.
