20		-The summary is taken from the manifest by copy / paste. The following text is just for demonstrating purpose!
	28	+The experiment aims to evaluate the potential use of a conversational user interface (CUI) for astronaut scientists in an extraterrestrial habitat during the AMADEE-20 expedition. Eventhough guidelines for CUIs were developed decades ago, the interaction with these devices is still complicated; therefore, general design guidelines for human-machine interaction need to be improved. While the studies on understanding the ways people interact with CUIs in everyday scenarios are very recent, there is only a small amount of research on how CUIs can be used in other (more extreme) environments –such as extraterrestrial habitats. CUIs are supposed to assist astronauts on their challenging long-duration missions, in particular, to support them in research-related tasks during space flight or planetary exploration missions.The study shall identify the requirements of a CUI in an extraterrestrial habitat. Much information in that regard is believed to be contained already in the “normal” communication between the crew and mission support. Many requests that could be directed at a CUI will be directed to mission support instead; therefore, the team intends to analyze the mission communication post-hoc. The main question is what kind of information is requested by the crew. Specifically, in the areas of fact checking/informationretrieval, logistics and timing, general conversation, technical issues and exchanges regarding requests to the on-site support team. Such an analysis is expected to provide valuable information for improving our understanding of how a CUI could contribute to a Mars mission and what capabilities it would need to provide. At a more visionary level, we could ask to what extent a (human) mission support team could delegate work to a CUI, leaving more time for more complex trouble-shooting and saving human resources on Earth, ultimately making Mars missions more autonomous.

22		-Astronauts are at all times required to provide outstanding performance. They are to remain resilient and to maintain their psychological well-being in order to successfully accomplish their mission in extreme and isolated environments. Future Martian explorers therefore have to be selected and trained to be able to deal with such environments and to be able to maintain an adaptive and resilient mind-set, communicate with others efficiently and pro-actively, process and accept worries and sadness, and to stay persistent with respect to the goals of the mission.

24		-In the course of the experiment, all six analog astronauts will be trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In a wide range of studies, ACT has proven to increase people’s psychological flexibility; this is, their ability to pursue their important goals, even when they experience thoughts, feelings, fears, and emotions that may get in the way of their moving towards those goals. The ACT training will focus on providing key, practical skills that the participants can use in carrying out their daily activities, as well as in interacting with their colleagues. This study aims to assesses the ability of ACT to improve participants’ psychological flexibility, stress and well-being, performance and error measures, narrative contents and communication patterns, cognitive and physiological outcomes.

26		-The study will use a pre - post-test design. The pre-test will be completed by the participants before the ACT training, a post-test after completing the training. Further, a follow-up measure will be taken from participants at the end of their mission. Additional qualitative data will be collected from the analog astronauts in form of a diary.
