Objective

The overall objective of this CANEUS Bioastronautics workshop is to explore the feasibility of developing MNT-based devices and instruments for bioastronautics applications. While spin-off applications for these technologies are possible for terrestrial applications, a project-based business model will be adopted, thereby taking into account a "worst case" scenario of no commercializable products being realized from the bioastronautics focused development. The CANEUS model of a 3-year development period to demonstrate system level prototypes will be adopted. A promising MNT-based product selected for development is a sensor-on-chip (SOC) with novel properties for specific bioastronautic needs.
