Name : Carole Tafforin
Positional titles： Managing Director at Ethospace，
Affiliation： Ethospace, France
Major in : Ethology，Behavioral Analysis， Space Environment， Space Exploration
Carole Tafforin opened the innovative field of Space Ethology research 30 years ago. She applied this Science of Behavior in a large panel of real flights, simulations and analogs. In Life Sciences, the method is an objective approach based on observation, description and quantification of the spontaneous motor activity. Her principal investigations started with US data then were conducted in Europe, China and Russia, in Arctic and Antarctic for a better knowledge of human adaptation as a whole.
Name : Shannon Rupert
Positional titles： Director of MDRS
Affiliation： MDRS, USA
Major in : Mars， space，astrochemistry， astrobiology
Shannon Rupert is an ecologist with two decades of experience in Mars Analog studies. Formerly a professor of biology and environmental science, she is currently director at the Mars Desert Research Station in Hanksville, Utah. She is an expert in planetary mission simulations and field exploration.
Name : Agata Kołodziejczyk
Positional titles ：Director of Analog Astronaut Training Center
Affiliation ： Analog Astronaut Training Center, Poland
Major in ：Neurobiology, Astrobiology, Biology in space, Space analogue missions
Neuroscientist, astrobiologist, innovator. Both her master thesis at Jagiellonian University in Kraków, as well as doctoral thesis at Stockholm University were about the influence of light on signal transformation in neurochemical circuits of nervous systems in various animal species. She discovered an internal eyelid of insect’s compound eye, and presented this discovery in the Concurrent Design Facility at European Space Agency to revolutionize constructions of future modular space telescopes. After her PhD, she worked as a postdoc on neurobiological mechanisms of aggression at Jagiellonian University, then got a position in biomimetics at the European Space Agency in Advanced Concepts Team. She developed a prototype of lighting system to synchronize biological clocks and non-invasive treatment of jet lags. Working abroad, she developed several projects in Poland, such as organization of cyclic international “Meet the Space” conferences, establishing the first Analogue Space Research Station in Europe called Lunares or organisation of several lunar and martian analogue simulations with specific scientific projects on-board. Her particular interest is time architecture, especially time illusions in isolated areas. Additionally, Agata works on photosynthetic biomaterials and aquaponic systems to initiate reliable and sustainable terraforming processes in isolated spaces. Recently, together with collaborators, she developed a new method for in situ clothes production in space. The winner of multiple prizes, such as a double winner of the best scientific experiment in the Global Space Balloon Challenge for detecting stress in biological organisms in the stratosphere, scientific Rojszczak Award, a Golden medal for the initiative of creating the first habitat in Poland and even a public distinction such as “One of the most powerful woman in Poland”. She was a co-founder of Space Garden Company (www.space.garden) and Chairman of Lunares Scientific Council. Agata is a Board Member of World Research Centre and Director of Advanced Concepts at private space agency The Valles Marineris (http://thevallesmarineris.com/). Actually, she develops acceleration of human spaceflight research in the world.
