Abstract: We present a covariant quantization of the free "massive" spin-3/2 fields in four-dimensional de Sitter space-time based on analyticity in the complexified pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The field equation is obtained as an eigenvalue equation of the Casimir operator of the de Sitter group. The solutions are calculated in terms of coordinate-independent de Sitter plane-waves in tube domains and the null curvature limit is discussed. We give the group theoretical content of the field equation. The Wightman two-point function $$ is calculated. We introduce the spinor-vector field operator $Ps{i}_{a}lpha(f)$ and the Hilbert space structure. A coordinate-independent formula for the field operator $Ps{i}_{a}lpha(x)$ is also presented.
