The purpose of the presented GLOBEMSI study was to carry out a scientific analysis of the EMSI (European Mannned Space Infrastructure) data collected from the three experimental simulation campaign conducted by ESA (European Space Agency): ISEMSI-90, EXEMSI-92 and HUBES-94. The scientific aim has been to obtain informations on the psychological and physiological effects of long-term isolation and confinement of a small crew under conditions simulating those that may be expected to exist in a space station. The experimental protocol of ISEMSI-90, EXEMSI-92 and HUBES-94 was to confine within a closed habitat varying by the architecture, i.e. facilities of 4, 2 and 1 main chamber respectively; varying by the size of the crew, i.e. 6, 4 and 3 crewmembers respectively; varying by the duration of the simulation campaign, i.e. 28, 60 and 135 days respectively.
