![]() HOW LENOVO WORKSTATIONS TRANSFORMED THEIR PROCESS With the expedition completed, the challenge now is to learn as much as possible from the data they collected to help improve the well-being of astronauts in future missions to space. In order to test the theory, natural circadian rhythms were designed and implemented using LED lighting panels in the habitat, controlled and monitored by the ThinkPad P53. The team theorised that simulating sunrise, sunset and the changing weather on Earth should improve the mental well-being of astronauts. One of the main psychological challenges in space is the lack of stimuli. The goal was to understand whether their wellbeing correlated with the results of the data they were capturing. The crew also completed at least six questionnaires per day. Every two minutes, biometric and environmental readings were taken, measured and stored. The expedition began in permanent daylight and ended in permanent darkness, with temperatures dropping as low as -30☌ and wind speeds over 50mph (90km/h). Having built the world’s first analogue moon habitat and transported it to Greenland, the team endured three months in harsh Arctic conditions. LUNARK is SAGA’s latest and most ambitious project. Founded by Danish architects, Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen, their goal is to integrate social sustainability and mental well-being with space exploration and to make living in outer space accessible to everyone. We discussed these results referring to research on the consequences of long-term social isolation in extreme human expeditions and social psychological models of social isolation.SAGA Space Architects design outer-space habitats from a human perspective. Finally, engaging in leisure activities increased the perceived speed of time. ![]() Talking about personal matters and leisure time were associated with a decrease in resignation, whereas talking about personal topics and physical exercising increased the desire for social contact. Moreover, the protective role of specific daily activities emerged. First, our results showed that, for either space architect, desire for social contact increased over time, whereas feelings of resignation did not. ![]() The two crew members independently filled out a time-based diary with self-report measures on their daily activities and negative emotions, feelings of loneliness, resignation, desire for social contact, and time perception. ![]() Two space architects took part in a 61-day mission in Northern Greenland to simulate human life conditions in the habitat as a prototype of a human settlement on the Moon. This study focuses on the relationship between time spent in specific activities (e.g., talking about personal matters) and the social-psychological effects of social isolation and confinement as a part of the LUNARK project, which was aimed at building and testing the first Moon analog habitat. Social isolation is among one of the best-known risk factors in these environments. Knowledge about the social-psychological aspects of individuals’ experiences of confinement within habitats in space missions or extreme environments is also rapidly expanding. Research to address the technical challenges of human missions into space is growing. ![]()
