  The STARWALKER Competence Centre is oriented on research for countermeasures solutions against space environment related physiological impairments (cardio-vascular decompensation, calcium loss, muscle volume and force loss etc.) as well as mental-volitional impairments (cognitive, psychological, psycho-social, decrease of fast and adequate response etc.).

STARWALKER specific niche is the use, in the countermeasures benefit, of the real-time, information-feedback, computer-assisted, neuromuscular and mental control training.

It is to be noted that results (research, methods, devices) in countermeasures field have an important transfer potential for terrestrial spin-off in the field of recovery medicine, disabilities assistance, age-related and degenerative diseases treatment as well as for demanding professions such as critical intervention personnel or extreme and high performance sports practitioners.

The STARWALKER Competence Centre develops intense education, awareness and international cooperation actions and, globally, targets the increase of the Romanian Space Community capability to participate in ESA activities and is seeking for national and international co-operators for research and applications in such an interdisciplinary field.

 
     
  The scientific and technologic research activities are oriented for:  
 
- clarification of scientific problems connected with countermeasures field, to be done in interdisciplinary cooperation within the scientific network of the Center;
- building principle solutions at the Proof-of Concept level for methods and equipments at the space TRL3-4 level, as well as for terrestrial societal spin-off;
- higher maturity solutions and equipments, above TRL4 are to be done in industrial cooperation, turning into profit the industrial network of the Center;
- generally the ripening of methods and equipment solutions for space as well as for society is to be supported and fostered by participation to National and/or EU R&D Programmes.
