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	+Extra-vehicular activities (EVAs) play an important role in astronautic space missions and pose higher demands and health risks to astronauts. They are facing many physical challenges such as living and working in extreme environments or moving around in heavy, pressurized space suits. Especially surface EVAs might pose additional risks due to deconditioning in many physiological systems after prolonged interplanetary travelling in microgravity. Therefore, health monitoring of astronauts is of increased relevance.

	18	+The Far SiDE experiment aims to develop models and systems to improve the safety of astronauts during extra-vehicular activities (EVAs). Through biomechanical and physiological models, estimators for muscle activations, joint loads, metabolic and cardiovascular demands shall be computed.
	19	+
	20	+Evaluation of the validity of physiological predictions and motion adaptations will be assessed and the cumulative fatigue over the course of the mission will be investigated. Furthermore, a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the usability of the simulation system will be done and if successful, it can be used as a decision-supporting tool for flight planners and the BME team.
	21	+
	22	+During the first days of the mission, experiments on the heart rate, O2 consumption, muscle activity, CO2 concentration, and more will be conducted. Further measurements will then be gained when performing EVAs. Subject of those measurements will be the respective analog astronauts in the AoudaS and AoudaX spacesuit simulators. Methods to record the relevant data include sensor data, kinetic measurements, near infrared spectroscopy, electrocardiogram, or spirometry.
