[Psychiatric selection of European astronauts: the French experience].
In order to realize the future Hermes and Columbus space-flights, European Space Agency decided to build up a european astronaut corps. Space-flights and training constraints require a strict initial selection among candidates. This paper describes space-flights psychological constraints, the aims of a psychiatric exam and its position in astronaut selection procedures as a whole. This paper also describes means and results of that selection among the candidates seen in Paris (France) in 1991.
