18		-Future long-term space missions and human habitation on other planets such as Mars require a controlled ecological life-support system. Its purpose is to basically re-create a proper atmosphere, purify water and possibly sow seeds for astronauts to eat. These processes are ensured by photosynthetic algae and higher plants in a so-called “biological life support system” (BLSS).
	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.

20		-Since the AMADEE-24 mission site mimics the harsh space environment, it is the perfect location to test such systems. Here, productive plant species shall be grown considering factors such as the absence of soil, shortage of water, limited space available.The experiment Hort3Space is therefore focusing on “microgreens” -leafy vegetables harvested as seedlings, highly acceptable by consumers as “Ready-To-Eat” (RTE) food. They are highly nutritious, hence an excellent source of vitamins and antioxidants.
	18	+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:

22		-The aim of this experiment is to develop and test innovative and autonomous cultivation systems that can grow fresh food with the minimum human intervention. This way, supply transportation for long-term missions can be reduced.
	20	+* Communication and operation
	21	+* The user interface
	22	+* Contribution to the crew’s mental health

24		-To realize this experiment, a sterile grow room in an inflatable self-erecting tent will be used to evaluate cultivation performances in extreme environments, simulating a planetary biological life support system (BLSS). It will be able to support the dietof the crew members of the analogue mission with fresh and highly nutritious, ready-to-eat vegetables. Additionally, the use of automated processes shall reduce analogue astronaut’s time required for cultivation task.
	24	+The 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.

	26	+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.
