PneumoPlanet - Study of an Inflatable Moon Habitat

The goal of this study was to develop a design for a lunar habitat in the close vicinity of one of the lunar poles and to demonstrate the feasibility of the suggested design in view of the available resources. The habitat should operate self-sufficiently in the long term by producing and recycling its own oxygen and food inside large greenhouses and almost exclusively by using solar irradiation power. The proposed  concept features a combination of:

Improvement of sample containment/handling for volatile analysis

Heating samples to extract volatiles is a standard way to characterise solid samples. By heating a sample and recording the temperature profile results it can explain a lot about the nature of those volatiles and allow them to be collected and analysed further. This technique is, in principle, a standard process in terrestrial laboratories and the same principle is applied in-situ for planetary analysis where solid samples are delivered to an oven, which is sealed and heated to produce signatures of the volatiles.

Detection of Ocean Litter Plastics with Hyper-to-multispectral Infrared Neural Networks (DOLPHINN)

The “Detection of Ocean Litter Plastics with Hyper-to-multispectral Infrared Neural Networks” (DOLPHINN) study explored a novel image processing technique to improve the use of space assets to map the distribution of plastic across the globe. The DOLPHINN project objective was to determine the feasibility of using a hyperspectral-to-multispectral association machine learning approach to improve the capability of space-based short wave infrared (SWIR) multispectral assets to detect, quantify, and track plastic litter in waters and on shorelines.

MIBA : MIcro Incubator Biomedical Autonomous - Industrial development of the first miniaturized incubator for long-term cell culture and real-time observation under multiple micro-environmental niche conditions

This project concerns the proof of concept, design and construction of the first micro-incubator to enable biologists to optimise cell and tissue culture conditions and to get as close as possible to real-life physiological and pathological conditions. In the past, there has not been a mobile and autonomous biomedical device allowing both incubation and observation under multiple conditions in real time.

Radio climatology models of the ionosphere: status and way forward

The objective of this study was to use experimental observations of the ionosphere collected in the past years to assess the performance of climatological ionosphere models, with the focus on scintillation models. This analysis has been performed in order to evaluate the ability of these climatological models to properly support ESA's future needs, to identify weak areas, to propose recommendations for improvements and to implement these improvements whenever possible in existing models.

ONERA
3D Printing of Living Tissues for Space Exploration

Human exploratory missions to the Moon or Mars are widely considered as the next logical steps in human space exploration and, lately, settlement. Such space exploration or settlement activities involve humans spending long periods of time in space and, with increasing distance from Earth, no abort possibilities. Crews on such missions have to be self- sufficient, not only concerning food, drink and waste, but also with respect to medical treatment. Health issues are raised by the environmental conditions in space, such as the influence of altered gravity, radiation and isolation.

Gas Drift Detector for X-Ray Applications

The objective of this activity was to develop a novel type of X-ray detector that combines two of the most important detector parameters: a large active area and a good energy resolution. This new 'GDD' detector is of gas-filled type, but its internal structure is similar to the widely-used Silicon Drift Detector.

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.
