From BBC News | Technology | World Edition:
A virtual space station is being developed that will aim to help astronauts stave off depression and manage inter-personal conflict while they are off-planet.
When completed the software will be used by Nasa during training and on missions to the space station and perhaps further afield.
The therapeutic program has been jointly created by former astronaut Dr Jay Buckey, who is also professor of space medicine and physiology at Dartmouth Medical School
and Dr Jim Cartreine - a clinical psychologist at Harvard Medical School.
In 1998 Dr Buckey flew on Space Shuttle Columbia during which he took part in the "Neurolab" mission which looked at the effect space travel had on the human brain.
For the 16 days the team were in orbit the team got along well together, said Dr Buckey.
"We had a great crew and worked together well and that's the kind of experience that you want everyone to have," he said.
"Of course, I've seen and heard stories of when things don't go that way and it can be absolutely devastating," he told BBC World Service's Digital Planet programme.
