Study on the isolation of social networks

We are constantly connected to social networks and information. So connected that sometimes our relationships with others are impacted. So what would be the impact on us and our relationships with others by being disconnected for 2 weeks as part of a life simulation on mars. For this, I will study the individual use of each person before, study the relationships between us during and then analyze the after and our relationship to social networks and information. The second part of my experiment will be to test our reflexes. We will be submitted to a stressful environment, to fatigue,… will these factors influence our reaction time. This study will be conducted on the basis of a software with exercises to test our reflexes.

I am currently studying a master’s degree in communication, specializing in digital communication and strategic organization. This year, my master thesis will focus on cutting off access to information and social networks. Before that, I was a human resources graduate. I am also a co-organizer of a festival.

Study of psychological and behavioral adaptation to isolated and confined environments

I have always been interested in people’s relationships and interactions. Creating a strong and unit crew is not easy when you start with a team of foreigners. By completing questions files, making several exercises, mental games and using actual psychological tools I would like to analyze the personalities, emotions, desires, expectations, and fears of my teammates. Also, studying people’s behavior can lead to some answers in the interpretation of their reactions in front of different situations. This would make easier the creation of our own tools to get well together and be able to resolve internal problems. I think it is essential to respect the wellbeing of everyone and to understand the different needs of one another. All that in the aim of creating a Working together team who can count on each other.

I am currently ending my Master of Medicine at the University of UCLouvain and going to specialize in medical emergencies. During my course, I explored many fields of the medicine, but I still have a lot to see and learn. Research and scientific advances never end in the domain of medicine. It is an opportunity to be part of this amazing crew, I am going to discover another side of the evolution of medicine. Always interested by the unknown I am so excited by this stunning adventure.

Space Oddity: reducing stress with music ?

 

Confinement and isolation is difficult for every crew that leaves the Earth. It leads to stress that can impact the body in a negative way, psychologically but also physically by increasing cortisol and blood pressure levels. One solution to this problem could be listening to music; it’s pleasant and not a complicated strategy to implement! I will be thus be studying how listening to recorded and live music can help reduce this stress and how it can positively impact the astronauts stay in space!

Development of the emergency procedure

 

The Martian environmentis not suitable forthe survival of human beings. So, what would happen if the protective layer around the astronauts were to be damaged? Then our astronauts would be exposed to the greatest of dangers. They must react fast to guarantee the mission survival. Therefore, a simple and explicit procedure must be defined if something were to happen inside the station. It will be based on multiple factors: participants personality, compilation on the safety standards, inventory on goods and equipment on site, implementation of fake scenarios, first aid procedures and so on. All the astronauts will participate actively in the development of this procedure to make it easy and durable.

I am a Master’s student in mechanical engineering at UCLouvain and I specialize in aeronautics and manufacturing. I am currently doing my master’s thesis as a trainee engineer at Safran Aero Boosters in Liège (Belgium). As you can see, I am really passionate about aeronautics and space but these are not my only passions ; indeed, I am also a certified diver and a big fan of photography. For this mission, I will combine my main passions and be the astronomer for a few weeks. During this time, I hope to capture beautiful images of the night sky to show everyone how fabulous the world we live in is.

Search for a radiation-shielded site in the Mars underground

 

Radiation in space is one of the most challenging problems for long manned space missions. Recent proposals have been put forward to benefit from natural shielding, by implanting the astronauts’ base in the Martian underground. The Martian caves should be chosen according to some criteria, such as the effectiveness of the shield, the presence of water,… How find the right place for a fast and good installation of the Mars base? This is the question I would like to investigate.

I have just graduated in physics at UCLouvain where I studied particle physics and cosmology. I am currently completing another master’s degree in space sciences in which I investigate more applied aspects of physics. As looking for challenges I am enrolled in the MARS UCLouvain Crew 2023, as the GreenHab Officer.
