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.
	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.

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 astronaut’s 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.
	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.

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.
	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.

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.
	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.
