In long-duration spaceflight, crew physiology will be impacted by the time-delay (signal latency) in communication caused by large distances and the finite speed of light. In order to understand the impact of latency on communication, health and performance and identify opportunities for mitigation, three interlinked changes are required over the coming decade: (1) More analog research into long duration spaceflight (2) expanded to include interactive effects between spaceflight hazards and (3) with consistent and comparable high latency fidelity (large time delays in communication that match what can be expected in deep space missions).
