Anotace

Experiments in geology, infrastructure development, and technological innovations were successfully conducted as a part of a seven-day lunar simulation mission, CHILL-ICE II,, inside the Surtshellir lava tube in Iceland. The overall aim of CHILL-ICE 2 was to assess the suitability of lava tubes for long-term settlement. Seven community experiments and two internal experiments were conducted by a crew of three AA. They were joined on-site in Iceland by two reserve AA and MCC. The community experiments of PORIS, Search-and-Rescue, High Performance Teams, Vigilance, ANICE, Lunar Zebro, and ENTRANT were geared towards specific research objectives in collaboration with several institutes, universities and research centres worldwide. The internal ICEE.Space experiments were put in place for in-situ assessment for the modified ECHO habitat and BORP analogue space suits. The PORIS instrument incorporates a microbolometer imaging array as a detector, which can be used to find silicate minerals and carbonates and scan its surroundings, even in low-light environments. The Search-and-Rescue mission was a simulation of an emergency scenario to analyse the psychological, cognitive, and social performance aspects of the astronauts’ behaviour. High performance teams was a psychological experiment to assess emotional intelligence as an ability and analyse the role of cognitive and affective empathy under stress. Vigilance testing was done multiple times a day to test the vigilance levels of the AAs. ANICE was a dietary research to assess the physiological and psychological impact of AA food intake. Lunar ZEBRO brought in a portable lunar exploration rover for each of the AA, to assist them in their routine tasks. Lastly, ENTRANT measured SEL to get a better idea of the physical wellbeing of the crew and their stress levels . The modified ECHO habitat was tested for its in-situ sustainability for extreme humid and cold environmental conditions, and the BORP suits were tested for their improved ventilation, ergonomics, and the SCOUT HID on HoloLens2. All experiments were conducted successfully, with results presented in the internal mission report and in this published manuscript.
