16		-Astronauts experience psychological challenges during a planetary mission caused by isolation from other human beings. Moreover, astronauts are dependent on the Life Support System (LSS) to withstand the rough, Martian environmental conditions. A proper, human centered LSS, which is controlled and understood easily by the astronaut is essential for a successful Mars mission. Staying Alive deals with the revitalizing component of the LSS in a habitat in form of a photobioreactor (PBR). PBRs have already been researched in the past, however, only a scientific basis. Staying Alive comprises three aspects of the PBR:•Communication and operation•The user interface •Contribution to the crew’s mental healthThe aim of Staying Alive is to investigate the interaction between the astronaut and the PBR. Additionally, a highly interactive sensor system will be tested. The sensor network shall be able to communicate with humans to learn from experience and new data, to explain its decisions and thus become a team member rather than a data source.For the mission experiment, a small and simplified PBR will be used in the AMADEE-24 habitat. It uses non-toxic photosynthetic organismsto produce oxygen from ambient air and will be equipped with sensor and a user interface for interaction. During the experiment the crew must perform several tasks once fully autonomously and once jointly with the Mission Support Center (MSC). The tasks to be performed include set-up, maintenance, repair, and science activities. Pre-and post-mission questionnaires as wellas video recording will be used to obtain data.
	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	+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%.
