The crew of the International Space Station (ISS) will have to execute a variety of operations ranging from multi-disciplinary experimental activities to the maintenance of the various ISS subsystems. The long duration of the mission increment will increase the amount of equipment and instrumentation to be operated by the crew. At the same time, the size of the on-board crew will be less than that of the Space Shuttle, at least during the first several increments. The Space Station operations concept has led to a sharp increase in requirements for crew training relative to earlier programs. Despite the increasing resources required to meet operational requirements, training remains a critical function to ensure safe, effective, and high science throughput station operations. The International Operations and Utilization Team (IO&UT), set up by the leading industrial contractors of the Space Station, is performing a number of studies on Space Station Operations and Utilization Support, aimed at identifying technical activities that may benefit from a more industrialized approach. Flight and ground support crew training on systems and payload operations is a high priority study item. This paper reports on the related IO&UT activity status, preliminary results, and plans.
