Abstract
The future mission to Mars will present a number of challenges regarding habitability and performance for spaceflight crewmembers. One aspect that needs to be considered is the potential impact of extended periods of low workload relating to monotony and boredom. The following provides an overview of the challenges associated with long duration spaceflight, and specifies the characteristics of interplanetary exploration. Focus is put on these challenges in space and provides possible approaches in mitigating the potential consequences regarding low workload in the high-risk environment. Discussion points are provided regarding possible applications for implementation in future interplanetary expeditions.
