Two researchers braved loneliness, harsh elements, and each other in a tiny Arctic capsule.
For two space architects who spent two months in a remote Arctic habitat to simulate lunar exploration, getting personal and spending time on leisure helped keep them happier and pass the time quicker, according to a new study., found that the two architects had an increasing desire for social connection over the course of the experiment, a 61-day mission in a small capsule-like habitat in Northern Greenland.
“Our research shows that being socially isolated and confined in an extreme environment when you are motivated to achieve a goal…might have fewer negative consequences compared with other episodes of social isolation and social exclusion,” says, a social psychologist at the University of Milano-Bicocca in Italy and an author on the paper.
“There’s a serious question as to the validity of simulation studies,” Suedfeld says, because the conditions of space exploration can’t really be mimicked on the ground. Though he thinks there’s still a place for them in space research. Essentially no research has been done on astronauts on the moon, so good simulations are useful in studying how people might react during real lunar missions.Riva et al.
