SUMMARY:EPFL Space Center - Seminar series: Surviving on Mars
DESCRIPTION:EPFL Space Center Seminar series\nSURVIVING ON MARS\nFuture human missions to the Moon or Mars require sustainable life support systems that can provide oxygen\, water\, and food with minimal reliance on Earth. \nUnlike the ISS\, these missions will face longer durations and greater distances\, demanding far more autonomous systems. Integrating biological components\, especially food-producing systems\, is a key challenge and opportunity. Microalgae are promising candidates due to their high photosynthetic efficiency\, nutritional value\, and contribution to oxygen and water recycling. Current research explores whether ISS technologies can be adapted for deep-space missions and what innovations are needed. A central question remains whether astronauts will rely on stored food or grow their own\, maybe with algae as part of the menu? \nProf. Gisela Detrell‘s field of research is the development of technologies to enable human spaceflight\, with special focus on Life Support Systems Technologies (specially on the use of microalgae photobioreactors for oxygen and food production for long duration missions)\, human spaceflight simulation (for example with conceptual design studies of future human spaceflight missions to the Moon or Mars) and human spaceflight performance (for example with the development of Virtual Reality tools\, to develop and improve training strategies). \nProf. Detrell studied Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) and completed her doctorate in Life Support Systems reliability analysis for long duration space missions at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2015. She continued her research at the Institute of Space Systems in Stuttgart\, leading the research group since 2018. In 2023 Prof. Detrell was appointed to the professorship for Human Spaceflight Technology at TUM.

SUMMARY:Space Sustainability: Bridging Initiatives and Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:This collaborative one-and-a-half-day workshop is co-organized by the Secure World Foundation\, the EU COST network FOGOS\, and in partnership with the ITU\, the Swiss Foreign Affairs\, and the ERC project PlanetStewards. It will convene experts\, policymakers\, and social scientists to conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing space sustainability capacity-building initiatives. The event aims to evaluate current approaches\, identifying where they complement each other and where gaps exist while introducing fresh perspectives to advance the field. By bringing together diverse stakeholders\, the workshop seeks to strengthen the connection between theoretical frameworks and practical implementation in space sustainability. \nView the latest agenda HERE. \n	Registration deadline: March 16th\, 2025\n			\n							Get tickets
