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

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	+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.

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	+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.
21	21
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.
	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.
