Step inside the future of human life in space
Microgravity changes the conditions in which the human body, technologies and everyday systems operate. Maintaining health, working, producing and consuming food, managing resources and designing what we wear therefore require solutions conceived for an environment fundamentally different from Earth. The Astronaut’s Home explores these conditions through a physical journey across the main dimensions of human life beyond Earth.
THE HUMAN FACTOR
Training, medicine and physiological monitoring
Training, medical assistance and physiological monitoring come together in the Human Factor area to explore how human performance can be prepared, supported and monitored in extreme environments.

THE WEARABLE HABITAT
Astronaut suits and textile innovation
What happens when what you wear becomes part of the environment that protects you?
Astronaut suits and advanced textiles turn clothing into a wearable habitat, designed to support protection, movement and human performance in extreme conditions
THE MISSION LAB
Research, life sciences and experimentation in microgravity
The Mission Lab explores microgravity as a research environment, where life sciences, materials and technologies can be studied, tested and developed under conditions impossible to reproduce in everyday life on Earth.
Think Lounge
The Think Lounge brings the conversation inside The Astronaut’s Home.
Astronauts, researchers and industry experts share experiences and perspectives on how the human body and mind adapt, train and perform in space.

Living and Training in Microgravity: An Astronaut's Perspective.
A first-hand account of life in orbit with Col. Walter Villadei, exploring physical adaptation, everyday routines and the role of training in maintaining health and performance.
Guiding the conversations is Antonella Bellutti, Olympic champion and journalist, connecting the experience of elite sport with the challenges of human performance beyond Earth.

The Ideal Mind Training
How do you train the mind to perform under pressure?
Walter Villadei, Riccardo Ceccarelli, Formula Medicine and NTT DATA explore mental preparation, stress management and the role of data and technology in extreme environments.

The Role of Exercise: Lessons Learned from Microgravity
From physical conditioning to recovery: Walter Villadei and Silvano Zanuso, Technogym discuss why exercise becomes an essential countermeasure for preserving health and performance in microgravity.
<<Anyone who has lived through a mission knows that space tests people first, not just equipment. Staying healthy, training, and eating properly far from Earth calls for solutions born from the work of highly advanced, wildly different companies and research centers.
The Astronaut's House tells this story too, showing how technologies developed in space can end up improving life here on Earth.>>
