Based on Associated Press (AP) information appearing on Fox News, the basic procedure states to bind the wrists and ankles with tape, wrap the body with a bungee, and, if necessary, administer tranquilizing medicines.
NASA spokesperson James Hartsfield, at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, stated that NASA and its Russian counterpart, the Russian Federal Space Agency, both created instructions for the International Space Station (ISS) in 2001. Procedures for Space Shuttle astronauts are also available. The ISS instructions contain 1,051 pages for dealing with what NASA considers every possible adverse medical circumstance in space. Behavioral emergencies, themselves, cover five pages of the manual. The U.S. military also has similar procedures for the containment of unstable crewmembers in unsettling or dangerous situations.
NASA is especially concerned with unstable astronauts in space because such an ill person could risk the successful completion of the mission and, more importantly, jeopardize the well being and lives of the other astronauts.
According to NASA officials, the International Space Station has medical kits onboard that contain medicines such as tranquilizers and anti-anxiety, anti-depression, and anti-psychotic medications, while the Space Shuttles contain kits filled with all of the above medicines except anti-depression drugs (since they generally take numerous weeks to become effective within the human body and the duration of Shuttle missions is less than that period of time).
From September 4, 2000, the complete three-page instruction entitled “Behavioral—Acute Psychosis (ISS MED/3A—ALL/FIN)” is stated in full at: http://www.spaceref.com/iss/medical/8441.acute.psychosis.pdf
