16		-The summary is taken from the manifest by copy / paste. The following text is just for demonstrating purpose!
	16	+Harvesting energy locally on Mars during manned Mars missions will be very important for supporting the power systems of the future Mars habitats. Delivering energy resources from Earth to Mars will be too expensive, meaning that usage of any energy sourceavailable in the Mars environment will be very useful. In addition to solar energy, wind energy could also be considered as a potential source of energy.Martian surface winds, with a wind velocitythat would correspond to about 3m/s on Earth, are not a particularly powerful mean for harvesting energyon Mars, but they could still serve as an auxiliary source.

18		-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.
	18	+AVAWTtherefore wants to measure the power generation and wind velocityat the test site with a Savonius VAWT style wind turbine during the mission.These turbines are lightweight, have a simple construction and can be easily deployed and mounted on a nearby small hill or even at the top of the habitable module.To increase efficiency, a new structural improvement of the turbines is also being tested: rectangular openings are made in both blades and covered with flexible patches. These patches bend with thewind and allow the air to flow through the openingson the side where the wind blows on the blade’s convex surface. This will reduce the dynamic pressure on the convex side of the turbine, thus increasing the difference between the dynamic pressures on the turbine’s two sides and generating greater rotational momentum.With this improvement the maximum torque of the wind turbine could increase up to 60%.

20		-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.

22		-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.
