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.
	20	+The analysis of rock samples allows us to unravel the history of a terrestrial planet. This includes its accretion, the tectonic and magmatic processes that shape its interior, and the processes that shape its surface morphological features. In addition, rock samples can preserve information about the evolution of a planet’s atmosphere and hold clues to the former presence of a biosphere, the nature of its various ecosystems and possible causes of its demise. In case of Mars, the planet’s major surface morphological features testify to an extensive history of volcanic activity and provide strong evidence for the former presence of large bodies of liquid water.

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.
	22	+The GeoPrep experiment is designed to prepare a rock sample for a first microscopic examination. This will improve the selection process of samples on other planets which will be sent back to Earth by integrating the results into a decision-making process aimed at selecting the suitable samples.

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.
	24	+GeoPrep will investigate whether it is possible to set up a rock sample preparation facility in a Martian field lab using as simple a technical and operational approach as possible to produce thin sections of different materials. The experiment will also show if this facility can be operated by an analog astronaut with no previous knowledge about rock sample preparation.

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.
	26	+To realize this experiment, a sample of appropriate size will be collected in an inflatable glove bag, to avoid contamination. After cleaning, a piece of that sample will be cut off and examined using a petrographic microscope. The quality of the sample aswell as to what extent it can be analyzed using different techniques will also be studied.
