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

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		-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 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.
