Summary
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.
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:
- Communication and operation
- The user interface
- Contribution to the crew’s mental health
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.
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.
