c. Monitor on-board systems 



d. Make necessary internal and external inspections

Added Selection Hurdles for All Crew Members 



1. Completion of biographical and questionnaire form 



2. Pass physical exam and personal interview 



3. Complete battery of tests 



4. Meet psychological criteria for crew structure 



5. Pass diving test 



6. Be accepted by Crew Selection Board 



7. Satisfactorily complete TEKTITE II training programs 



Only qualified divers who expressed a willingness to meet the program require- 

 ments were selected. 



The psychological screening (Table III) consisted of two items. These items 

 were also used for the Behavioral Research Program. The first was a biograph- 

 ical description. The second was the Life Crisis Scale. Both of these were 

 administered as part of the medical exam for psychiatric screening. Negative 

 findings could have resulted in disqualifying candidates for safety purposes. 



The remaining measurements were obtained for research purposes only and had no 

 effect on aquanaut selection or rejection. 



Engineering crew selection was completed in January. The engineer crew 

 received 3 days of intensive training in the habitat at the General Electric 

 Company in February 1970.
