MiCoFCI study - Strategy and Recommendations for microbiological cleanliness of future cargo integration

The aim of the project “Strategy and Recommendations for microbiological cleanliness of future cargo integration” was to review current measures implemented to ensure the microbiological cleanliness of cargos and recommendations how to enhance the microbiological cleanliness. The lessons learned from the ATV campaigns and the current cargo processes were summarized based on interviews with representatives of all the steps of the cargo process.

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.

Autonomous Medical Monitoring and Diagnostic

Global plans for exploratory missions aim at extending the distances travelled by humans well beyond low Earth orbit and establishing permanent bases on the surface of Moon and Mars [1]. This will inevitably lead to increasing mission duration, radiation intensity, gravity levels and degree of confinement and isolation to which the crews will be exposed. In this extended space mission context, the astronauts should have the means to collect medical/physiological data in order to understand if their physiological conditions are in nominal levels.

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.
