The following comments were made by ESA and answered by the company:

NP-1: Materials
HRE-ESA-RQ-IPL-002 contains the PA and Safety requirements and the on-board device has to be compliant with these.
NOMEX is a commonly used fabric.

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:

Textile parts:
●	Textile electrodes - Au plated Molybdenum wires (Producer: Luma Wire Tech AB, Sweden - Entity Code: 1000030668, References: ESA (European Space Agency) Copernicus CIMR - satellite antennas)  and non-conductive fibres based on Aramid or Aromatic polyester
●	Textile sleeve - Aramid fabric (Nomex® - DuPont, used by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronauts, space shuttle crew)
●	

Alternative material for EMI/EMC of conductive tracs X-static yarn (producer: Noble Biomaterials Inc., USA - Noble Biomaterials are used by leaders in military and aerospace, including US and Allied Special Forces, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and NASA)
●	Velcro - Polyamide ( GSC32995 / 2012 / NASA Outgassing database )
●	Silicone gel ( GSC35370 / 2015 / NASA Outgassing database )

Interconnection system:
●	Snap fasteners - Brass with nickel plating,
●	Textile conductive ribbon - Au plated Molybdenum wires and non-conductive fibres based on Nomex

Cover for electronic parts made of Al.

What is the minimum required quality level for the onboard device? Is space-grade, aerospace, or military-grade required as a baseline?
What are the minimum applicable requirements, and at what quality level are the qualification models expected to be realized? This will have a direct impact on both the cost and lead time of the development and delivery, especially if space-qualified components or processes are required.

Summary of the discussion:

All listed components for the textile part are, according to the negotiation, confirmed to be in compliance with PA and Safety requirements.

All EEE components are defined as Grade B. P/Ls of Grade B are allowed to use Off-the-Shelf EEE components.

In the case of batteries, it is possible to use any standard battery size that is commercially available, such as AA or AAA. ESA will review and provide us with a list of approved manufacturers from whom the batteries may be sourced.

NP-1 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

NP-2: Communication
It is not totally clear, how the various elements of the experiment will communicate with each other. The proposal mentions WIFI.
The Columbus IRD (COL-RIBRE-SPE-0164 Issue 3/B) states
3.3.11.1.1.3	LAPTOP COMPUTERS AND PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES
Wireless communication functions within a portable computing device, such as IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or Cellular mobile applications, shall be disabled unless required for a specific pay-load application
Bluetooth and WIFI are not forbidden but discouraged. This is in particular true for Bluetooth.
If WIFI will be used, each element will need to comply with the Security Requirements for LAN connected payloads (ESA-ISS-COL-SEC-RS-0002 -Security Requirements  for LAN Connected Payloads,  Issue  2/0).

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:
To avoid interference, the device will be completely passive according to the project design policy "passive recording without Wifi", this will also increase the battery life for the entire duration of the measurement. The EMG sensor will not implement any wireless communication. Data will be stored in internal memory.

Summary of the discussion:

External communication like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are not used.
The onboard time does not need to be known for the synchronization clock, as the internal clock will be set using our own time. There will be a module for synchronization via cable with daily synchronization.

NP-2 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

NP-3: EMC
The applicable EMC requirements from COL-ESA-RQ-014 Issue 3 (for Columbus) are applicable and the compliance with these requirements needs to be verified.

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:

We would like to request the latest version of the document COL-ESA-RQ-014 Issue 3 (for Columbus). Additionally, please note that the final EMC will be verified through the following tests:
https://www.unis-testlab.cz/cs/laborator-emc  https://www.ramet.as/press-kit

Summary of the discussion:

The tests will be performed in an accredited laboratory in accordance with the requirements of COL- ESA-RQ-014 Issue 3 (for Columbus). We will prepare and provide a detailed test plan for your review.

NP-3 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

NP-4: Time dedication and schedule
The time dedication for the key personnel is considered very low with 10 people, all below 15%. This shall be clarified and possibly the schedule could be shortened.

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:

Each key person is responsible for a specific sub-part that is not always addressed throughout the project. For this reason, there is a lower proportion of involvement of each key person. However, key persons are also part of the project team in other work packages. Their involvement will therefore actually be higher.

We would like to inquire about the latest possible deadline for the experiment submission. Additionally, could you please let us know when we can start at the earliest? Based on the provided information, we will prepare a revised schedule and assess the workload of key project personnel.

Summary of the discussion:

It was noted that the delivery is required six months prior to launch. Project initiation is possible no earlier than September 2025, with completion no later than June 2027, based on current projections. An updated schedule, incorporating the required safety review as per the information provided, will be prepared and submitted.

Annex: Gantt chart

NP-4 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted. Action: Update schedule

NP-5: Management WP
Contractual deliverables (Final Report, CCD) shall be added to the Management WP.  Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:
Contractual deliverables (Final Report, CCD) have been added to the Management Work Package in the text below.

Summary of the discussion:

The contractual deliverables (Final Report, CCD) have been added to the Management Work Package.  NP-5 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

NP-6: Schedule
The schedule is considered too long and shall be shortened. Clear dependencies between tasks and a critical path shall be added to the Gantt chart.

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:

See NP-4

Summary of the discussion:

It was clarified that there are no life-limited items associated with the equipment and our device is independent of ISS infrastructure. An updated Gantt chart reflecting the revised project duration from September 2025 to June 2027, will be prepared. The project duration will be shortened by 2 months.

Annex: Gantt chart

NP-6 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.Action: prepare schedule

NP-7: Payments
The bidder requests 35% advance payment although it is not an SME. The need for an advance payment shall be justified and shall not be above 20%.

Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:

Advance payment is important due to high initial costs. In the initial phase, it will be necessary to acquire expensive components such as batteries, gold fiber, etc. We will adjust the advance payment to 20%.

Summary of the discussion:

The advance payment has been adjusted to 20% in the revised budget.  NP-7 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

NP-8: BIPR
Please specify which deliverables are affected by the listed BIPR.  Response inputs provided before the negotiation meeting:
Sewing thread especially for the integration of electronic elements in textiles electrodes (utility model CZ 28603 U1) - utility model expired 11.06.2025. (Tab. F.1b - HW.01AstroMoWe Smart textile)

□	The modified description of BIPR is reflected in the Summary table.

NP-8 Status: Closed. Clarifications accepted.

Others:
1.	Safety vs. security
Clarification was provided regarding the distinction between safety (prevention of equipment damage) and security (protection of software against unauthorized access). Security approval for the software is simple, as it is not internet-connected. An updated safety review plan will be prepared.

2.	Weight

A request was made to reduce the weight; the current weight is 1.440 kg.
We will reduce the weight further. We are already aware of possibilities for a significant decrease below 1 kg.

3.	ARD - Activity Requirement Document

It was noted that the Activity Requirement Document (ARD) is to be included as a deliverable. Volker Koehne will provide the ARD template.
