Given the unprecedented environment of long duration space exploration (LDSE), success simply cannot occur without the coordinated efforts of multiple teams, both in flight and on the ground. These multiteam systems (MTSs) are needed to achieve the complex and dynamic tasks of spaceflight missions that will be longer and more uncertain than any previously experienced. Accordingly, research is limited in terms of how to best coordinate these teams and their dynamics-and in particular, how to best prepare LDSE teams to work across time and space effectively. To begin to address these critical questions systematically, qualitative data was extracted from a series of ten interviews with experts in spaceflight and long duration analog environments. Using thematic analysis techniques, we identified several consistent themes for affective, behavioral, and cognitive elements of teamwork occurring within and between teams. We examine each of these in detail, to identify the dynamics of what is currently known and where research needs to go to provide guidance for spaceflight organizations as well as others attempting to successfully implement MTSs in novel, complex environments.
鉴于长期太空探索（LDSE）的前所未有的环境，如果没有飞行中和地面上多个团队的协同努力，成功根本无法实现。这些多团队系统（MTS）是实现太空飞行任务复杂而动态的任务所必需的，这些任务将比以往任何经历都更长且更具不确定性。因此，关于如何最好地协调这些团队及其动态——特别是如何最好地让长期太空探索团队有效地跨越时间和空间开展工作的研究有限。为了开始系统地解决这些关键问题，我们从对航天和长期模拟环境专家进行的一系列十次访谈中提取了定性数据。使用主题分析技术，我们确定了团队内部和团队之间团队合作的情感、行为和认知要素的几个一致主题。我们详细研究其中每一个主题，以确定当前已知内容的动态以及研究需要朝着何处发展，从而为航天组织以及其他试图在新颖、复杂环境中成功实施多团队系统的组织提供指导。
