Abstract

Introduction: From Mars, the Earth will appear as an insignificant dot in the heavens and two-way communication with family and mission control can take up to 44 min. The resulting impact of these restrictions on crewmembers may be termed the Earth-disconnect phenomenon. The literature suggests that seeing the Earth as a beautiful orb in space is an awe-inspiring experience (the Overview Effect), the loss of which may produce isolation and loneliness. Not being able to communicate with family and mission control in real time may produce emotional distress and impaired performance. Strategies to help crewmembers deal with these issues include using a telescope or virtual reality to better experience the Earth and suggesting future response topics and using more formal messaging techniques to improve communication efficiency. More study needs to be done using simulators, a space station, or the far side of the Moon to better understand this phenomenon. Kanas N.

与地球隔绝的现象是火星宇航员的心理压力源。
导读:从火星上看,地球在天空中只是一个不起眼的小点,与家人和任务控制中心的双向通信可能需要长达44分钟。这些限制对机组人员产生的影响可能被称为地球断开现象。文献表明,在太空中看到地球是一个美丽的球体是一种令人敬畏的体验(总览效应),失去这种体验可能会产生孤立和孤独。无法与家人和任务控制中心实时沟通可能会产生情绪困扰和性能受损。帮助机组人员处理这些问题的策略包括使用望远镜或虚拟现实来更好地体验地球,建议未来的响应主题,以及使用更正式的消息传递技术来提高通信效率。为了更好地理解这一现象,需要使用模拟器、空间站或月球背面进行更多的研究。与地球隔绝的现象是火星宇航员的心理压力源。航空航天Med Hum Perform. 2025;96(6): 530 - 532。
