NASA Sci Files segment describing the NASA Health Stabilization Program, a quarantine system for soon-to-fly astronauts.
Hi, Ms. Stephens. Thanks for responding to our email.
00:00:00
No problem. How can I help you today?
00:00:05
As I mentioned in the email, Jacob is worried about getting sick before his vacation.
00:00:07
We are considering quarantining him in the treehouse.
00:00:12
How does a quarantine work?
00:00:14
Quarantine is a designated period of time for a person to stay away from other individuals and vice versa.
00:00:16
How do you make sure the people who come around the astronauts are not sick?
00:00:22
NASA created the Health Stabilization Program, or HSP for short.
00:00:25
This program develops an awareness among all NASA personnel, crew families, and other guests
00:00:29
of the importance of protecting a flight crew from infectious diseases.
00:00:35
How does it work?
00:00:39
During the quarantine period, individuals that must have contact with the flight crew
00:00:41
are badged as primary contacts, or PCs.
00:00:45
They're medically screened beforehand and monitored for illness.
00:00:49
How long are the astronauts quarantined?
00:00:52
A quarantine, the time of limited contact, begins seven days prior to a launch
00:00:54
and extends through the actual launch date.
00:01:00
This period may be extended depending on many factors.
00:01:02
We're having a flu outbreak in our town. Would that affect the length of the quarantine?
00:01:06
Yes. If there's an outbreak of illness in the community, we could lengthen the stay.
00:01:10
It also depends on the crew's immunity to some illnesses.
00:01:15
For the seven days prior to the launch, the PCs are the only ones that can be within six feet of the crew.
00:01:19
They also need to minimize their contact with the flight crew as much as possible.
00:01:25
Meetings should be held in large areas to maintain adequate spacing of people.
00:01:29
Shaking hands and embracing of the flight crew should be minimized as much as possible.
00:01:34
We certainly don't have to worry about embracing.
00:01:39
PCs must also wash their hands before meeting with the flight crew.
00:01:42
And most importantly, if a PC becomes ill, they should not have contact with the flight crew at all.
00:01:46
It sounds like quarantine is the answer to my problem.
00:01:52
Thanks, Ms. Stevens. You've been a lot of help.
00:01:55
You're welcome. Good luck with your quarantine and I hope you stay well.
00:01:57
