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.

 

Università Politecnica delle Marche · CETMA

THE ORBITAL HARVEST

Food cultivation, preservation and preparation

The Orbital Harvest explores how food can be grown, preserved and prepared for life beyond Earth, bringing together technologies and research designed to support longer and more autonomous human missions.

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.

23 SEPTEMBER 

4:00–4:30 PM

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. 

 

24 SEPTEMBER

3:30–4:00 PM
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. 

 

4:15–4:45 PM

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.>>
