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 +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.

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 +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 astronauts 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.

22 +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.

22 -* No allocation of GOST/CRW resources or inclusion in mission plan
23 -* Under supervision of GOST CDR
24 -* Eligible for site access
24 +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.
