Confirmed research results,
new ongoing and intended research, motivated an interdepartmental
group of scientists from the Institute of Space Science,
capitalizing on the previous expertise gained in space
microbiology research, human spaceflight support applications,
solar-terrestrial interaction, space ionizing radiation
projects and terrestrial human health and safety applications,
to make significant future contributions to the field
of "Life in the Universe - in Space and on Earth"
as the highly interdisciplinary and integrated umbrella
encompassing:
| |
- |
Space micro- and
macro-biology, the study of Life in microgravity
and in radiation field, through experiments in extraterrestrial
conditions simulators and on spacecrafts (different
orbital vehicles and on the International Space
Station - ISS) - read
more; |
|
| |
- |
Humans in Spaceflight,
the study of Space Medicine, Physiology, Psychology
and Sociology - read
more; |
|
| |
- |
Countermeasures, the
protection of astronauts against impairments induced
by MICE - Microgravity, Isolated and Confined Environment
- and the consequent terrestrial spin-off - read
more; |
|
| |
- |
Solar and Planetary
hazards, the near and medium-deep space environment
of the Earth - the Sun and the Solar System - and
its implications in the life emergence and survivability
- read
more; |
|
| |
- |
SSA - Space Situational
Awareness, the study of near-Earth space threats
for terrestrial Life and Society and the quest for
coutermeasures and mitigation actions and services
- read

|
| |
- |
Human Health and Safety
protection in critical situations using space-based
technologies (Critical Telemedicine and Support
for Crisis Management) - read

Astrobiology, as
the study of the origin, evolution, distribution,
and future of Life in the Universe - read

|
... as well as |
|
| |
- |
Astrosociology, as
the study of space age and spaceflight inflicts
on Human Society on and beyond Earth- read

Life in the Universe - in Space and on Earth - is an endeavor
that involves Space as well as Earth exploration and it
brings together scientists from Natural Sciences (Physics,
Astrophysics, Astronomy, Mathematics, Geophysics, Geography,
Geology, Chemistry, Biology, Molecular Biology, Ecology
etc.), Human Sciences (Psychology, Sociology, Cognitive
Sciences, Medicine, Neurosciences, Education, Futurology
etc.) and Engineering (Information Science, Information
and Communication Technology, Systems Engineering, Robotics,
Mechatronics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering etc.)
The topics of interest to us are aligned with those determined
by ESA (the European Space Agency) and NASA (the American
National Administration for Aeronautics and Space) as
well as by the Romanian National body in charge with the
National Strategy for Aeronautics and Space namely, the
Romanian Space Agency - ROSA.
"Life in the Universe" is a delocalized colaborative
community that generates knowledge and projects on Life
in Space and on Earth.
Due to the widely interdisciplinary and challenging character
of the "Life in the Universe" approach we would
like to collaborate with national and international institutions
as well as with independent specialists, so anyone interested
in such collaboration is warmly welcome to contact
us.
