4 SUBJECTS 180 DAYS CELSS INTEGRATION EXPERIMENT AND MANNED DEEP SPACE EXPLORATION

Space exploration has been a common pursuit of all human kind. SPACEnter, a 4-subject and 180-day integrated experiment of CELSS is a large multinational “human-environment” experiment conducted by China. The experiment is conducted in the newly built CELSS integration experiment facility of Space Institute of Southern China (Shenzhen). Based on the third-generation life support technology, this study will examine the concordant effects of physical-chemical regenerative and bioregenerative life support system, so as to reveal the law on dynamic variation of human body in CELSS with continuous tracking on multi-omics, and to develop new technology on building life support system that works for multi-subjects long stay with high material closure, improved efficiency and greater reliability. The experiment has attracted space medicine and ecological system experimental projects from all over the world like CNES and DLR to participate in. Through this experiment, the theoretical basis and technology of bioregengerative life support system will be further enriched and some key technology breakthroughs of the third-generation life support system are expected to be made. And studies on astronauts health maintenance in long-stay closed environment will be further accumulated. The event will mainly discuss on SPACEnter experiment, and spread out to the further development in CELSS, the future of space exploration and its implication on medicine development, and relevant extraterrestrial life themes and manned space exploration. The event will consist of lectures on SPACEnter experiment and topics on extraterrestrial life, and seminars on the topics and arguments in the lectures. We aspire that more opportunities for communications and developments between the East and the West in manned space technology will be made, fresh ideas on space medicine and manned space exploration studies will be stimulated, and international cooperation on manned space exploration will be enhanced in order to achieve our common pursuit.
