Tita Global Space Academy has signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with MELiSSA Foundation, formalising a collaboration that brings European research in space life support directly into professional space education.
Under this agreement, MELiSSA Foundation serves as the preferred European Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) science partner of Tita Global Space Academy, contributing scientific expertise and access to its expert network to the Academy's professional training programmes. This ensures that course content is grounded in active European space research, giving participants direct access to the expertise driving Europe's advancement in life support science.
MELiSSA Foundation also holds a seat on Tita Global Space Academy's Advisory Board, providing ongoing strategic scientific input into the course portfolio and co-developed programme content.
ABOUT MELiSSA FOUNDATION
MELiSSA Foundation is a Belgian foundation and a member of the MELiSSA Consortium, dedicated to supporting education, outreach and communication across the MELiSSA research ecosystem. The Foundation connects MELiSSA's scientific expertise with external partners, extending the reach of this research well beyond the consortium.
MELiSSA (Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative) is Europe's leading research programme in closed ecological life support systems, developed under ESA and active for over three decades. The programme develops regenerative life support technology to sustain crews on long-duration missions, recovering food, water and oxygen from waste, with applications for lunar bases, missions to Mars and, increasingly, for closed-loop systems on Earth.
