Task Skills Mapping: Agent-Based Model of Astronaut Interactions for Artemis

Raymond Vera's dataset, last updated May 27, 2026, contains simulation data from an agent-based model exploring human factors in future lunar missions. The 5.5 KB XLS file likely contains parameters and outputs from tens of thousands of Monte Carlo simulations of the Lunar Base ABM. The model uses an Agent_Astronaut framework with cognitive skills, emotional states, and personality traits to simulate social and environmental interactions for the Artemis IV and V missions.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trade-offs between productivity and psychological well-being based on Monte Carlo simulation outputs mentioned in the description
• Studying the impact of cognitive skills and personality traits on mission outcomes based on the Agent_Astronaut framework
• Evaluating operational resilience and team structures for lunar bases based on simulated exogenous and endogenous factors
• Modeling long-term social interaction effects in isolated environments based on the agent-based model's representation of astronaut interactions

Strengths

• Dataset is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection
• Model is grounded in literature on proxy environments and team science, as described
• Simulations consist of tens of thousands of Monte Carlo iterations, as stated in the description

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset's 5.5 KB size suggests it contains summary parameters or a very limited sample rather than full simulation outputs
