Space analog research has increased over the last few years with new analogs appearing every year. Research in this field is very important for future real mission planning, selection and training of astronauts. Analog environments offer specific characteristics that resemble to some extent the environment of a real space mission. These analog environments are especially interesting from the psychological point of view since they allow the investigation of mental and social variables in very similar conditions to those occurring during real space missions. Analog missions also represent an opportunity to test operational work and obtain information on which combination of processes and team dynamics are most optimal for completing specific aspects of the mission. A group of experts from a European Space Agency (ESA) funded topical team reviews the current situation of topic, potentialities, gaps, and recommendations for appropriate research. This review covers the different domains in space analog research including classification, main areas of behavioral health performance research in these environments and operational aspects. We also include at the end, a section with a list or tool of recommendations in the form of a checklist for the scientific community interested in doing research in this field. This checklist can be useful to maintain optimal standards of methodological and scientific quality, in addition to identifying topics and areas of special interest.
在过去几年中，随着每年都有新的模拟环境出现，太空模拟研究不断增加。该领域的研究对于未来实际任务规划、宇航员选拔和训练非常重要。模拟环境具有一些特定特征，在一定程度上类似于实际太空任务的环境。从心理学角度来看，这些模拟环境尤其有趣，因为它们能够在与实际太空任务非常相似的条件下研究心理和社会变量。模拟任务也是测试操作工作并获取信息的机会，了解哪些流程和团队动态组合对于完成任务的特定方面最为理想。欧洲航天局（ESA）资助的一个专题小组的一组专家对该主题的现状、潜力、差距以及适当研究的建议进行了审查。本综述涵盖了太空模拟研究的不同领域，包括分类、这些环境中行为健康表现研究的主要领域以及操作方面。最后，我们还列出了一个清单形式的建议列表或工具，供对该领域研究感兴趣的科学界人士参考。除了确定特别感兴趣的主题和领域外，这份清单有助于维持方法和科学质量的最佳标准。
