Prior to any experiment being flown, the crew of the ISS Expedition must undergo an Informed Consent Briefing (ICB). See more details on the ICB in our previous post.
Once the crew indicate their participation as subjects of the experiment, formalized training on the hardware and software is implemented into the L-6 months of their 2-year ISS Expedition training flow.

Crew Informed Consent Briefing
The software is in detailed design through its development, review and tests by the developer in accordance with our Software Requirements document. To ensure the timeline for December 2011 launch is attainable, the astronaut crew subjects that will conduct RFx on orbit need to be trained well in advance - at least Launch Date (L)-6 Months. The first introduction of the experiment to the crew is the Crew Informed Consent Briefing (ICB). The ICB is a high-level overview of the experiment's purpose, design, operation, expected results and timeline. Any risks associated with conducting an experiment are reviewed and accepted at this stage too. Expect more frequent posts from us!
