Is that with three separate, well-rested, crews, or just the one crew, who have to snatch a few hours sleep somewhere in the middle of those 31 hours?

- simne 4y agoI don't know, how well rested in SpaceX, but I know, this is highly regulated work. People in space industry working at shifts, if night, than usually next 24h rest. It is just impossible, to save good concentration without rest. Yes, usually they are one team, but everybody have duty, usually one night shift every 3 days (all other day shifts). Also, their shifts usually moving, ie Mon 07-15, Tu 15-23, Wed 23-07 (exact time other this is just illustration). And also, I've seen semi-shifts, ie Mon 07-15, Tu 15-23, Wed 23-07, and second team Mon 11-19, Tu 19-03, Wed 03-11, so there are no moments, when all present have not already drink coffee. And all operations heavy documented, so when shifts change, they don't need to make significant duty-transfer procedure.
- simne 4y agoI'm from Ukraine. To be strict, I've learn lot from Soviet/Russian space history, I considered to work in Russian space industry before war. But after 1991, US worked many years with them, essentially, ISS operated from US and Russian control rooms simultaneous, so people know near all from other side.
