Local sleep episodes during wakefulness and long term space travel

The aim of this study was to assess how space travel modifies local sleep episodes in wakefulness during a visuo-motor task and weather this is related to performance. To this end, specific EEG (electroencephalogram) data previously recorded on board the ISS during the Neurospat experiment (AO-2004, 118) were used.

Concept Development of EVA Operationsin EAC Neutral Buoyancy Facility for Extra-terrestrial Surface Explorations. (Moondive)

The International Space Station (ISS) is slowly approaching the end of its mission. The European Space Agency (ESA) and its international partners are considering new mission targets for the future of human space exploration in the post-ISS era. Highest ranked on the list of potential targets are a return to the Moon, Near-Earth Objects or asteroids, the moons of Mars (Phobos, Deimos) and, as the ultimate target, the surface of Mars.

Multi-purpose Cubesat at the ISS

The CubISSat study investigates the feasibility of operating a multi-purpose small satellite in the International Space Station (ISS) environment whose aim is to provide the ground and flight crew with effective tools to cope with a variety of situations, potentially avoiding to rely on complex robotics and extravehicular activities as currently conceived.

ASSESSMENT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE BENEFITS ON BRAIN HEALTH FOR LONG-DURATION SPACEFLIGHT

Poor sleep on the ISS remains one of the major factors, which affect negatively the performance and psychological resilience of astronauts. The development of novel effective countermeasures for sleep loss, performance decrements and psychological deficits during space missions is needed.

Micro/nano encapsulation technologies

Funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) through its General Studies Programme (GSP) (www.esa.int/gsp), this activity aimed to provide more insights on the possible space applications of micro- and nanoencapsulation (MNE) techniques and technologies. NASA performed some early studies3,4 in the international space station (ISS) with aim to assess whether new drugs could be produced under a microgravity environment. However, the study of MNE in the space context remained primarily limited to these few experiments.

AIM OPTEL-µ implementation study on ISS

The Optel-μ Implementation Study on ISS has been set up to assess the feasibility of an IOD (In Orbit Demonstration) of the Optel-μ Space Terminal on the ISS (International Space Station).
The Optel-μ system provides an optical data downlink from a LEO (Low Earth Orbit) S/C to an Optical Ground Station with a data rate up to 2Gbit/s. It is being developed by RUAG Space in the frame of the ARTES program

Membrane Gas-Water Separation - Membrane Condensing Heat Exchanger (MCHX) Technology Demonstrator

Manned missions into space require systems for Environmental Control and Life Support (ECLS). The major tasks of these systems are the control of the habitable volume atmosphere in which the astronauts shall feel themselves comfortable. Essential functions are to control cabin temperature and humidity. For these functions a Membrane-based Condensing Heat Exchanger (MCHX) Technology Demonstrator was developed and performance tested.
