Astronaut pre-flight adaptation, procedure, payload, and research training for commercial spaceflight

Private industries worldwide are currently developing commercial spaceflight capabilities by building reusable space flight vehicles for suborbital and orbital flight. This necessitates the availability of affordable non-pilot astronaut training for private spaceflight. Such astronauts' functions will include operating industrial and research payloads, flight crew duties, preparation of tourists f

or space excursions, and - looking into the more distant future - preparing all of the above categories of spaceflight professionals for long duration spaceflight including such factors as high G and G transitions, prolonged weightlessness, and artificial gravity environments of spaceflight. Based on our long-standing involvement in space research and employing our unique research facilities, the Graybiel Lab has developed several programs for training commercial and research astronauts for private spaceflight missions. These programs train in such sensorimotor human factors as motion sickness, spatial disorientation and movement errors, spatial illusions, and artificial gravity/rotating environment, just to name a few. Our implementation of these protocols will maximize commercial spaceflight efficiency, productivity and comfort, as well as flight enjoyment of space tourists.
