### Summary

Air quality is an important factor for terrestrial indoor environments, such as buildings, individual or public traffic, and others. In space, this aspect was less important due to relatively short stays of astronauts. However, in the near future, stays of astronauts in space will become longer, especially when considering astronautic missions to and on Mars. Therefore, indoor air quality (IAQ) in extra‐terrestrial environments like spaceships or habitats has attracted notice.

Investigations on the indoor air quality (IAQ) of spaceships are rare and were mainly performed on the ISS, mostly using online methods directly in the station. But one must consider that for longer trips and stays an astronaut’s stress level is increased.Therefore, aspects like well‐being will play a major role. Consequently, long‐term investigations on emissions from materials and indoor air quality (IAQ) will be necessary in the future to ensure astronauts’healths.

The aim of IAQHabitat is to estimate the relevance of indoor air quality (IAQ) and the applicability of today’s assessment methods concerning IAQ on long term missions.

For one week, air samples shall be taken in the habitat to measure the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOC), very volatile organic compounds (VVOC), short chained aldehydes and organic acids. Samples that will be taken twice per day on sorbents have to be sent to WKI for further analysis. Whereas other samples in the habitat can be taken and analyzed in-situ using an equipment. Additionally, it is planned to take two measurements in the outdoor air to look for potential influences.
