- Abstract
Roscosmoe aims to develop a series of experiments and habitat design to examine the be- haviour of the sea acoela atworm Symsagi ifera rosco ensis in various gravitational environments including orbital space context. By combining science, arts, humanities and design, the project Roscosmoe presents a societally integrated approach to space exploration (Space 4.0) that has the capacity to challenge existing a itude towards space habitation, planetary protection and ex- traterrestrial bioeconomy. Speci cally it connects the elds of marine biology, design, outer space conditions (microgravity), intermedia art, eco-feminism, cosmism and the xenochthonic paradigm (becoming alien). The plant-animal has been the subject of study in elds such as regeneration, neurogenesis, circadian rhythms as well as an inspiration for both natural scientists and humanities scholars who investigated biological and cultural sympoiesis. Roscosmoe methodology is based on frugal science, open source design and put in motion by a multidisciplinary team composed by scientists, artists, makers and humanities researchers.
