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.
	22	+Effective interaction between the analog astronaut and a remote rover is essential to take out full advantage of the supporting asset and to ensure a successful exploration during a mission. A rover is teleoperated via the Operator Control Unit (OCU). The physical distance from the operator and the robotic vehicle leads to poor situation awareness and may cause inadequate decision-making. The OCU must be designed wisely to ensure proper human-robot interaction.

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%.
	24	+MEROP improvesthe teleoperation of rovers by providing a problem-solving toolbox to the OCU. It addresses two major issues: situation awareness and communication. Unexpected, autonomous action of the robot may cause operator insecurity and influences situation awareness in a negative way. The second challenge deals with communication and communication reliability between the operator and the robot. Issues concerning bandwidth or loss of communication impose constant risks, which need to be mitigated.

20		-**Independent Experiment:**
	26	+The expected outcome of the MEROP experiment is an improved teleoperation of robotic vehicles and the implementation of an effective visualization tool that support the flight planning team in the decision-making process.

22		-* No allocation of GOST/CRW resources or inclusion in mission plan
23		-* Under supervision of GOST CDR
24		-* Eligible for site access
	28	+To achieve experiment objectives, the MEROP team will implement a teleoperation interface, where the analog astronaut can choose between two interaction levels: Semi-autonomous teleoperation and direct teleoperation. Semi-autonomous teleoperation features indirect control of the robot using a virtual avatar and interface augmentation techniques. Direct teleoperation allows for the direct control of the robot to enhance situation awareness.
