NASA’s Artemis program will return humans to the Moon and establish sustainable exploration, to help prepare humanity

for the next giant leap to Mars. Artemis missions offer platforms to study human health and performance in the deep space

environment, and the Human Research Program (HRP) is actively working across Artemis programs and with international partners to enable human research opportunities.

This is an exciting opportunity to collect invaluable human health data to expand our understanding on the influence of various spaceflight hazards on humans with the goal of Mars exploration-class missions. Artemis platforms for potential utilization include in-flight Gateway, lunar surface science, pre-deployed payloads, pre- and post-flight baseline data collection,

and transit in the Orion vehicle between Earth and lunar vicinity.
This session will include an overview of Artemis missions and their components, general mission timeline, plans for Initial
Capabilities, including human research opportunities, and an overview of Sustained Capabilities and Mars-forward missions. Additionally, it will describe the need to synergize human research and medical operations for Artemis missions with their limited mission opportunities and constraints.

Physical exercise could reduce the risk of undesired mental impairments during isolation and space missions. This project

aimed to clarify beneficial as well as adverse effects of continuous versus interval running exercise on brain health and

cognition and underlying neurophysiological mechanisms during a terrestrial simulated space mission.
Six volunteers (aged 33.6 years, 3 females) simulated a 120-day mission to the Moon (SIRIUS-19). Exercise training consisted of treadmill running during a continuous (CON) or an interval (INT) protocol. Each protocol was performed

throughout one half (either first or second) of the mission and switched in a cross-over design. Data was collected prior to (BDC-14 to BDC-7), four times during (start and end of each protocol; MD14/16, MD53/54, MD79/80, MD110/112), as well as

post isolation (R+6 to R+9), pre- and post- exercise on two separate days respectively. Cognitive performance (Cognition test

battery BHP-SM), self-perceived state of mood (MoodMeter©) and affect (PANAS), and electroencephalographic recordings

(EEG, 32-channel) were assessed. Morning blood samples were drawn to assess BDNF, IGF-1, and VEGF and saliva samples

every 2 hours from 8am to 10pm to assess cortisol levels. Effects of isolation (factor: TIME), exercise (pre vs post exercise), exercise protocol (INT vs CON) and gender were calculated using non-parametric tests. No significant changes from in to

post isolation data collections have been observed. Therefore, only BDC was compared to the end of each training protocol in

order to reduce alpha error and increase statistical power (α = 0.05, for factor time α = 0.017). As an effect of TIME, lactate decreased at fixed running speed 9km/h (p = 0.03) at the end of both training protocols compared to BDC (p = 0.046). Cortisol level increased as a factor of time (p = 0.011) from BDC to the end of both exercise protocols (p = 0.028) and cognitive performance improved (overall reaction time p = 0.006, score p= 0.016). Positive (p = 0.549) and negative affect (p= 0.717) as well as perceived physical (p= 0.568) and motivational state (p= 0.200) did not change over time. Perceived psychological strain significantly improved comparing BDC to both exercise protocol end-points (p = 0.015). Neither BDNF (p = 0.607), IGF-1 (p = 0.60) nor VEGF (p = 0.846) did change over time, but IGF-1 showed a significant effect of exercise protocol and higher values at the end of CON compared to the end of the INT protocol (p = 0.028). With this exception, no difference between pre and post exercise, exercise protocols and sex were found for all other variables. Reduced broadband power and a flattening of the 1/f spectral slope was found in resting-state EEG during isolation compared to BDC (see Weber et al. Scientific reports (2020)10: 17987).
In conclusion, this exercise training protocol during 120 days of isolation improved physical fitness. Although cortisol level increased and brain cortical activity decreased during isolation, cognitive performance, mood, affect and neurotrophic factors

remained stable independent of gender and the exercise protocol (except IGF-1 increased for CON). Longer duration missions with manipulations of the exercise protocol are needed to further optimize training protocols.

XXIII International Symposium HUMANS IN SPACE

HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT OUTREACH – CHALLENGES AND STRATEGY FOR A DEVELOPING NATION
Abhijeet Kibe, Abhishek Jha, Anurag Kumar Sinha

Indian Space Research Organisation, Directorate of Human Spaceflight Programme, Bengaluru, India
As humanity celebrates the 60th anniversary of the first human spaceflight endeavor, human spaceflight activities are

evincing greater interest from around the globe. This is truly democratization phase of human space activities as more nations

are beginning to understand the benefits of a sus-tained human spaceflight program. Human space programs pursued by

nations have undergone a transformational shift from being a tool of projection of national power and technological prowess

to symbols of international cooperation. Today, these programs are transcending national borders as the benefits of scientific research and spin offs, are percolating to the common masses. Yet the classic argument on the benefits of human spaceflight

vis-a-vis its economic costs still constrain many poli-cymakers to take bold national initiatives in this area. This is especially true in the case of developing nations where public resources are scarce.

Space education and outreach activities provide an effective tool to address this issue as an ena-bler for mass participation

in human space activities. This is evident from the fact that space travelers have been regarded as role models to society and ambassadors of humanity beyond their national borders. There is a need to utilize space education and outreach tools innovatively for information dissemination, taking into account the information needs of all the stakeholders. This improves trans-parency about the program goals and outcomes.

In the case of human spaceflight activities in developing nations, this becomes especially im-portant as public enthusiasm, participation, and support of human spaceflight activities is an im-portant investment driver. Effective outreach program also facilitates international cooperation. In addition to this, space education and outreach also help in the development of scientific

tempera-ment and curiosity among the masses, especially youth. This is the main driver for technological in-novations, entrepreneurship, and spurring business growth, which is essential for the economic de-velopment of any nation.

This paper discusses the contribution of space education and outreach activities in the domain of human spaceflight and

its socio-economic impact. This paper also addresses the challenges in space education and outreach activities that are unique to developing nations and proposes strategies to overcome. This paper also argues that Space agencies especially from the developing world who as-pire to pursue human space activities must implement a comprehensive Space education and outreach strategy.

GOVERNANCE OF SPACE TOURISM
Abhishek Jha, Abhijeet Kibe, Anurag Kumar Sinha, V.R Lalithambika

Indian Space Research Organisation, Directorate of Human Space Programme, Bengaluru, India
Tourism has been a key driver for socio-economic development in many countries around the world. In the year 2019, global travel and tourism activities contributed around 10 % to the world’s GDP and 1 in 10 jobs around the world was generated by tourism industry. This is a consumer driven industry where the demand is met by various service providers and competition drives the quality of services.
Space travel and tourism holds a promising future as an economic activity and adds another di-mension to the present travel and tourism activity on earth. This paper aims to present a model for the space travel and tourism industry and analyses

the role of different stakeholders. Space activities have played a major role in the development of humanity through the planetary exploration; micro-gravity based scientific research and spin-offs. Space travel has been the domain of governmental

space agencies in space faring nations. However, with the entry of private players in space activities, space tourism may become a reality in near future.
Compared to the travel and tourism activities on earth, space travel and tourism has additional dimensions and therefore

stakeholders. This paper proposes a governance model involving different stakeholders in space tourism sector. This is done while factoring in various consumer profiles and the demand scenarios. Since space travel is inherently a hazardous activity,

role and jurisdiction of regulatory agencies is also discussed.

SOLVING NUTRITION PROBLEMS IN INTERPLANETARY SPACE FLIGHTS

The solution of issues on the development of products and food rations that ensure the preservation of the health and

performance of crews when exposed to the body of adverse environmental factors during flights into deep space is one of the

main areas of work in the creation of food supply systems (SOP) for crews of interplanetary manned transport ships. 8

Aerospace and Environmental Medicine 2021 V. 55 № 1/1 special issue

XXIII International Symposium HUMANS IN SPACE

When developing SOPs for interplanetary flights, the principle of continuity should be observed, when the design and

layout of a new system uses well-proven and improved SOP elements of previous manned transport ships and orbital stations.

The conditions of interplanetary flights determine a number of additional problems that need to be solved in the process of creating an SOP. These include, first of all, long flight autonomy and high levels of ionizing radiation when passing through

radiation belts.

The lack of the possibility of periodic replenishment of stocks during interplanetary space flight is associated with special

requirements for food rations in general and for their constituent products. The main of these requirements are:
•••••minimum dimensions and weight; - ease of use and storage in a spacecraft; convenience of food intake and its “unfeasibility” for a long time; minimal time spent on cooking and the possibility of using them both hot and cold; good digestibility and assimilation; microbiological safety during the entire storage period.
To ensure the safety of crews during the passage of radiation belts, it is necessary to develop and introduce into the diet

products with radioprotective properties and biologically active products, which will significantly expand the arsenal of means

for protecting the body from ionizing radiation and preventing functional changes developing in the body when exposed to

extreme factors during flights into deep space.

In addition to the main diet on board the interplanetary spacecraft, a wide range of additional food sets and special food and food additives should be available. They will make it possible to introduce variety in nutrition, to correct the nutritional composition of rations in accordance with the changing needs of the body at various stages of a space expedition, to ensure the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, excretory system and other physiological processes in the body.

Conclusion. In order to provide physiologically adequate nutrition for spacecraft crews during flights into deep space, it is

necessary to start developing:
•••
Technical equipment for modernization of the SOP on an interplanetary manned spacecraft; Technologies for the manufacture of a new range of products for long-term (at least 3 years) storage; Products with radioprotective properties and biologically active products that increase the body’s resistance to adverse

environmental influences and reduce the risks of developing certain diseases.

As Space Tourism is an upcoming lucrative sector with immense commercial potential. With the ad-vent of private players in commercial human space sector the space tourism sector is only expected to grow further. Unlike the Space Mission in

pursuance of scientific objectives, a commercial tourist flight is likely to change the philosophy of designing a Space Mission significantly.

Designing a space mission is a challenging task which in turn strives to strike a balance technical limitations in terms of the capability of rocket system, weight of crew module, operational requirement for safe recovery at all stages of launch and recovery and need to keep various physical stressors like acceleration, vibration, noise and temperature etc. within the tolerance range of the subjects occupying the crew module.

GartyÃ, G. J. Ross, A. W. Bigelow, G. Randers-Pehrson and D. J. Brenner Columbia University, Radiological Research Accelerator Facility, 136 S. Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533, USA The stand-alone microbeam at Columbia University presents a novel approach to biological microbeam irradiation studies. Foregoing a conventional accelerator as a source of energetic ions, a small, high-specific-activity, alpha emitter is used. Alpha particles emitted from this source are focused using a compound magnetic lens consisting of 24 permanent magnets arranged in two quadrupole triplets. Using a ‘home made’ 6.5 mCi polonium source, a 1 alpha particle s–1,10lm diameter microbeam can, in principle, be realised. As the alpha source energy is constant, once the microbeam has been set up, no further adjustments are necessary apart from a periodic replacement of the source. The use of permanent magnets eliminates the need for bulky power supplies and cooling systems required by other types of ion lenses and greatly simplifies operation. It also makes the microbeam simple and cheap enough to be realised in any large lab. The Microbeam design as well as first tests of its performance, using an accelerator-based beam are presented here. INTRODUCTION AND OVERALL DESIGN the lenses.

Charged-particle microbeams, developed to provide targeted irradiation of individual cells, and then of sub-cellular components, and then of 3-D tissues and now organisms, have been instrumental in chal- lenging and changing long accepted paradigms of radiation action. However the potential of these valuable tools can be enhanced by integrating additional components with the direct ability to measure biological responses in real time, or to manipulate the cell, tissue or organism of interest under conditions where information gained can be optimized. The RARAF microbeam has recently undergone an accelerator upgrade, and been modified to allow for multiple microbeam irradiation laboratories.

In de buitenste delen van ^piraalstelsels zijn de rotafiefrequentie, de epicycle- frequentie, en de oscillatiefrequentie Jie de beweging loodrecht op het sym- metrievlak karakteriseert, nagenoeg gelijk. Een eenmaal ontstane asym- metrische afwijking van de gasverdeling ten opzichte van het symmetnevlak (warping) kan zich daarom in de buitenste delen van een spiraalstelsel gedurende lange tijd handhaven. 2.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation would not have been possible without the help and support of many people. Most of all, I would like to extend my gratitude to Rod Grupen for many years of inspiring work, our discussions, and his guidance. Without his sup- port and vision, I cannot imagine that the journey would have been as enormously enjoyable and rewarding as it turned out to be. I am very excited about what we discovered during my time at UMass, but there is much more to be done. I look forward to what comes next! In addition to providing professional inspiration, Rod was a great person to work with and for|creating a warm and encouraging labora- tory atmosphere, motivating us to stay in shape for his annual half-marathons, and ensuring a sufficient amount of cake at the weekly lab meetings. Thanks for all your support, Rod! I am very grateful to my thesis committee|Andy Barto, David Jensen, and Rachel Keen|for many encouraging and inspirational discussions.

Glavan and C. Lin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)]. We find that the effective potential of a spinning test particle in this background could have two minima when the Gauss–Bonnet coupling parameter a is nearly in a special range −8 < a/M2 < −2 (M is the mass of the black hole), which means a particle can be in two separate orbits with the same spin-angular momentum and orbital angular momentum, and the accretion disc could have discrete structures. We also investigate the innermost stable circular orbits of the spinning test particle and find that the corresponding radius could be smaller than the cases in general relativity. Keywords: Gauss–Bonnet; innermost stable circular orbits; spinning test particle 1.

    Multimodal learning analytics on sustained attention by measuring ambient noise Jeffrey Pronk Responsible Professor: Marcus Specht (PhD) Supervisor: Yoon Lee (PhD candidate) Peer group members: Giuseppe Deininger (BSc student) Jurriaan Den Toonder (BSc student) Sven van der Voort (BSc student) I Abstract In this research, a learner’s sustained attention in the remote learning context will be studied by collecting data from different sensors. By combining the results of these sensors in a multi-modal analytics tool, the estimation of the learner’s sustained at- tention can hopefully be improved. This research will mainly focus on microphone recordings of ambient sound in a learners room. The main research question of this re- search was "How can ambient noise sensing aid in a multi-modal analytics tool to track sustained attention?". The multi-modal learning analytics tool, if accurate enough, could potentially be used by teachers to make their material more engaging and could help learner’s to keep their focus while performing a learning task (Schneider et al., 2015). The research resulted in a model with 61% accuracy. This percentage needs to be further researched, since because of the COVID situation, not enough data could be collected to train the model. Because of the relatively low accuracy of the model, it was found that ambient noise sensing can aid the multi-modal analytics tool to some extent by adding some data-points it is certain about, when the mobile movement tracking model does not detect a distraction. If the model improves in future research, the model could be able to help mobile movement tracking model, even if the mobile movement tracking model already predicts a distraction with bigger then 50% certainty.
