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.
	16	+The summary is taken from the manifest by copy / paste. The following text is just for demonstrating purpose!

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.
	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.

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.
	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		-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.
	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.
