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 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		-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	+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 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	+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		-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.
