AuRelia: Autonomous and Reliable SCG-Sensor System for Human Space Exploration
The AuRelia project addresses the formidable challenges of health sensor deployment in lunar missions, emphasizing the critical aspects of sensor autonomy and exceptional reliability, particularly in the context of Seismocardiography (SCG) sensors.
In AuRelia, the development of health sensors for space missions is pursued, focusing on strong sensor autonomy and extremely high reliability. Additionally, AuRelia initiates an investigation into artifact formation in Seismocardiography (SCG), a topic identified during joint experiments with the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH), the DLR Institute of Space Systems, DSI AG, and Hohenstein AG in the "BEAT" experiment during the WiCo2 project in Increments 66/67 on the International Space Station (ISS).
The University of Bielefeld is responsible for the medical evaluation and conducting studies related to SCG signals in AuRelia. They provide evaluation tools for medical assessments and offer medical expertise to support tailored development. Furthermore, the university provides regulatory and medical oversight for the planned measurements during a parabolic flight campaign.
The University works as a subcontractor to BMWK under the funding code 50RP2350 for the AuRelia project, led by the Technical University of Hamburg (TUHH). The project is managed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and has a duration of 24 months, starting on August 01, 2023.
