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.
	20	+As previous AMADEE missions have shown, robotic systems can support astronauts very well during extra-vehicular activities (EVAs). Therefore, human-robot operations will be an essential tool in future Mars missions.

	22	+The iROCS experiment is looking into how the terrain in a desert can be properly mapped with mobile robots and what intuitive operating concepts need to be developed for remote control access. The trafficability of the terrain is to be investigated and possible obstacles analyzed. After all, these could have an impact on the following tasks, the accessibility for astronauts and the design of spacesuits with mobility restrictions. Furthermore, it will be tested how a robotic system can support analogue astronauts in terms of sample collection, identification, and analysis.

	24	+3 robots will be used during this experiment: Intelligent Robot for Mapping Applications in 3D (Irma3D), robot Charlie, and the RTE (Rosenbauer Technical Equipment) robot. Equipped with different technologies, they will perform the following tasks:
	25	+
	26	+* sample identification and analysis with selected wavelengths and appropriate filters for cameras and LiDARs to enable both the search for water and rock analysis.
	27	+* manipulation tasks (e.g. sampling) with a collaborative robot arm
	28	+* transportation tasks between two locations
	29	+* robotic map building using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)
	30	+* power provider for external devices and support for astronaut field work
