What Researchers Did
Researchers studied how a group of five men formed and interacted over five days in an isolated hyperbaric chamber, simulating conditions of long-term spaceflight.
What They Found
A sub-group of three out of five men formed on the third day of isolation, developing strong and stable connections among them. The study recorded their behavior and communications during the five-day isolation period, as well as two days before and after.
Canadian Relevance
No direct Canadian connection identified.
Study Limitations
The study's short experimental period meant researchers could not fully understand how the observed sub-group functioned within the larger group.
