Herkomst en betekenis Melissa

Melissa is een Griekse meisjesnaam en betekent ‘honingbij’. Deze naam komt voor in de Griekse mythologie. Het is de naam van de nimf die Zeus zou hebben opgevoed.

Ook kan Melissa de vrouwelijke vorm zijn van Melis, dat van Aemilius afstamt. Deze oorspronkelijk Latijnse familienaam wordt zowel met het Grieks als met het Latijn in verband gebracht: het Griekse woord ‘(h)aimulos’ betekent ‘zacht, vriendelijk’; het Latijnse ‘aemulus’ betekent ‘wedijverend mededinger, navolger’.

CREATING A CIRCULAR FUTURE

Melissa & doug countdown to christmas wooden advent calendar

THE EUROPEAN PROJECT OF CIRCULAR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS

For more than 30 years, The European Space Agency (i.e. ESA) is active in the field of regenerative life support systems. MELiSSA (Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative) is the European project of circular life support systems. It was established to gain knowledge on regenerative systems, aiming to the highest degree of autonomy and consequently to produce food, water and oxygen from mission wastes. The MELiSSA project has been initiated in 1987 after a preliminary flight on board Chinese rocket Longue Marche. In October 1988, the concept was elaborated and published. The contractual activities started in 1989.
