32 THESEUS Project THESEUS: Towards Human Exploration of Space a European Strategy Coordination and Support Action supported by the European Commission 7th Framework To develop an integrated life sciences research roadmap enabling European human space exploration in synergy with the ESA strategy, taking advantage of the expertise available in Europe and identifying the potential of nonspace applications and dual research and development

33 THESEUS Project THESEUS: Towards Human Exploration of Space a European Strategy Coordination and Support Action supported by the European Commission 7th Framework To develop an integrated life sciences research roadmap enabling European human space exploration in synergy with the ESA strategy, taking advantage of the expertise available in Europe and identifying the potential of nonspace applications and dual research and development

34 THESEUS Project Cluster 4: Habitat Management Microbiological quality control of the indoor environment in space (4 Key Issues) Life support: management and regeneration of air, water and food (8 Key Issues) covers life support for self sustainability via regenerative processes using physical, chemical and biological technologies. This includes: air revitalisation (CO2 removal & O2 production), water supply and recycling, food supply (plants, microbial), waste management (removal & recycling) to gather this European expertise and create synergies that allow for an integrated approach on which priorities of research emerge

35 Why another WS? To review and update work items, players, key issues identified at the CAB WS and by the Theseus Project To define follow up plans, identifying the potential of non space applications and dual research and development To define top level requirements for dual research and development projects To identify and possibly establish areas and structures of international co operation

36 Where and when (as Spring 2015, ISLSWG #48 ISLSWG #47 to be hosted by ASI North of Italy To create opportunities and synergy with Expo 2015 Status Preliminary approval ISLSWG #45 Discussing with DLR ISLSWG representatives on co operation Feedback from ISLSWG members on interest to participate due on ISLSWG #46 (Brussels, 2 4 May 2014)
