Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Comm Delay: Larry Palinkas Brief Research Summary: The overall aim of the proposed study is to determine whether the communications delays likely to be experienced on future exploration missions will result in clinically or operationally significant negative impacts in crew behavior and performance, and where in that changing communication delay is the critical point that behavioral and task performance is most affected. In-Flight Data Collection: Performance Questionnaires after each “control” and “comm delay” task. Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller New In-flight Operations: Comm Delay Imposes a 50 second voice communication delay (each way) during already scheduled ISS systems tasks. Two to three crewmembers participate in each task. Questionnaires are filled out by each crewmember, Flight Director, and CAPCOM following each task. This study is implemented in conjunction with ISTAR and MOD. ISTAR / MOD will select the tasks and implement the comm delay. HRP will schedule the in-flight crew questionnaires after each task. ISTAR / MOD will coordinate the MCC questionnaires. Questionnaires will be implemented using the CHeCS Data Collection Tool. No procedures; implemented via execution note. PI will request video and voice of activity if available No training is required. 2 hr 40 min in-flight crew time (not counting task time) This study is only being pitched to I35/36 crew and requires at least 2 of 3 crew members to participate Early in IncrementLate in Increment 4 control tasks (no Comm Delay) 4 tasks with Comm Delay
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Investigation Summaries Microbiome: Hernan Lorenzi, M.D. Brief Research Summary: The Microbiome experiment investigates changes to astronauts’ immune systems and microbiomes (the collection of microbes that live in and on the human body). These changes can be detected by taking periodic samples from different parts of the body and the surrounding International Space Station (ISS) environment. As part of this study, the likelihood and consequences of alterations in the microbiome due to extreme environments, and the related human health risk, will be assessed. In-Flight Data Collection: Blood, Saliva, Perspiration, Potable water collections; Microbiome (body swab), ISS Surface, and optional Gastrointestinal sampling.

Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Intervertebral Disc Damage: Alan Hargens, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: The goal of this study is to use state-of- the-art imaging technologies to comprehensibly characterize and quantify space-flight induced changes in disc morphology, biochemistry, metabolism, and kinematics. Subjects will be imaged before and after prolonged spaceflight. These data will be correlated with low back pain that spontaneously arises in space so as to establish pain and disc damage mechanisms that will serve as a basis for future countermeasure development. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves MRI testing. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries Functional Task Test: Stuart M.C. Lee & Barry A. Spiering Brief Research Summary: The primary objective of the Functional Task Test (FTT) project is to develop and evaluate an integrated set of functional and physiological tests, and then use those tests to determine how post flight changes in sensorimotor, cardiovascular, and muscle physiology impact functional performance (e.g. standing, ladder climbing, and hatch opening). Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; series of timed muscle performance tests
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Sprint (Control): Lori Ploutz-Snyder, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: The Sprint experiment evaluates the efficacy of exercise countermeasures; this includes detailed measurements of cardiovascular and muscle function and bone health and evaluates the effectiveness of a new exercise prescription integrating both resistance and aerobic training exercise. Control subjects will not follow the Sprint exercise protocol in-flight. They will follow the standard ISS exercise protocol and share exercise data with the Principal Investigator. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves DXA, QCT, MRI, Muscle Performance and Isokinetic testing. Muscle biopsies are optional and will occur in Inc 35/36. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Hip QCT: Jean Sibonga, Ph.D. & Thomas Lang, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: The primary objective of Hip QCT is to monitor changes in hip sub-regions in response to in-flight countermeasures (CM). This QCT study will also demonstrate how countermeasures that involve mechanical loading of the hip (e.g., exercise) could be distinguished from CMs that involve biochemical suppression of bone resorption (e.g., bisphosphonates) because these two categories of CMs affect different bone compartments of the hip (anti-resorptives on trabecular bone, exercise on cortical bone). Finally, QCT will enable hip strength estimations by Finite Element [FE] Modeling – which detects more changes in hip strength due to space than with DXA modality. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves QCT assessment. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Manual Control: Stephen Moore, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: Lack of gravity causes sensorimotor deficits post-landing. This experiment's comprehensive cognitive/sensorimotor test battery will determine the relative contribution of specific mechanisms (including sleepiness and fatigue) underlying decrements in post-flight operator proficiency. These results will be critical in determining whether sensorimotor countermeasures are required for piloted landings and early surface operations, and what functional areas countermeasures should target. Data Collection: Pre-/Post-flight testing only; involves physiological and performance measures. Pre-/Post- Investigation Summaries
Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Investigation Summaries Spinal Ultrasound : Scott A. Dulchavsky, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: Sonographic Astronaut Vertebral Examination (Spinal Ultrasound) aims to use ground and space- based studies to fully characterize spinal changes during and after spaceflight. Ground based pre- and post-flight MRI and high fidelity ultrasound, combined with in-flight ultrasound will be used to characterize and assign a mission health risk to microgravity- associated spinal alterations for back pain and potential injury. This research will determine the accuracy of MRI and musculoskeletal ultrasound in characterizing the anatomy/composition of the vertebral unit and develop training methodologies.

Brief Research Summary: The Dietary Intake Can Predict and Protect Against Changes in Bone Metabolism during Spaceflight and Recovery investigation is NASAs first evaluation of a dietary countermeasure to lessen bone loss of astronauts. Pro K proposes that a flight diet with a decreased ratio of animal protein to potassium will lead to decreased loss of bone mineral.

Payload Operations Integration Working Group (POIWG) July 26, 2012 Human Research Program (HRP) Malinda Moller Bisphosphonates (Control): Adrian Leblanc, Ph.D. & Toshio Matsumoto, Ph.D. Brief Research Summary: Bisphosphonates as a Countermeasure to Space Flight Induced Bone Loss. The purpose of the Bisphosphonates study is to determine whether an antiresorptive agent, in conjunction with the routine in-flight exercise program, protects International Space Station (ISS) crewmembers from the regional decreases in bone mineral density documented on previous ISS missions. Control subjects will not ingest the bisphosphonate pill in order to provide a comparison. In-Flight Data Collection: 24-h Urine collection, Diet/Exercise Logs Investigation Summaries
