Task Agent Attributes: Astronaut Agent-Based Model for Lunar Mission Simulation

Raymond Vera's dataset, last updated May 27, 2026, contains agent attributes for an agent-based model simulating social interactions and human factors in future lunar missions. The 5.5 KB XLS file models astronaut agents with cognitive skills, emotional states, and personality traits to explore factors affecting mission outcomes. Monte Carlo simulations with tens of thousands of iterations examine trade-offs in productivity and psychological well-being for missions like Artemis IV and V.

Use Cases

• Simulate long-term effects of human factors on mission outcomes based on the described Agent_Astronaut framework.
• Evaluate operational resilience and team structures for lunar missions based on the described Monte Carlo simulation approach.
• Analyze trade-offs between crew productivity and psychological well-being based on the described model outputs.
• Study interactions between social and environmental factors in space analogs based on the described proxy environment literature.

Strengths

• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.
• Model is based on literature from proxy environments, space analogs, and team science theories, suggesting a structured theoretical foundation.
• Simulations consist of tens of thousands of Monte Carlo iterations, indicating a computationally intensive exploration of parameter space.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope, likely containing only core model parameters or agent attributes.
