N2  - Research indicates that even short duration space flight may cause deficits to psychological health. Crewed
members of spaceflights are also vulnerable to various neurobehavioral problems, which may reduce psychological
health, work efficiency and group cohesiveness.
Mindfulness meditation as a psychological countermeasure for long-term space missions has received increasing
attention. Mindfulness techniques have been shown to provide various cognitive and affective benefits in clinical settings,
these have yet to be employed as a feasible psychological countermeasure for space crews. Therefore, this paper will
propose that the use of mindfulness-based intervention may offer a feasible adjunct countermeasure for several
psychological and performance risks for astronauts during long-term space missions.
