This paper focuses how a tool based on Expert System technology could best meet in orbit crew training requirements specifically in the conditions of long in-orbit stay. The following important aspects are in particular addressed: Man Machine Interface (MMI); apportionment of capabilities between orbit and ground facilities; possible architectural solutions for its use in a manned space module, according to the specific constraints of the orbital environment; evaluation of available technologies for their possible integration in the set of the tools candidate to support crew member during their orbit stay time. Emphasis is given to possibilities offered by state-of-the-art methodologies, w.r.t. knowledge acquisition, representation and maintenance, in order to provide astronaut with quick and context-sensitive information about training tasks to be performed, both planned and contingent.
