Mission Ready: First All-Aerospace Mars Analog Mission is a GO!

Aerospace’s six-member crew is embarking on a two-week analog mission at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in a remote location in Utah to test new technologies that could help shape the future of human space exploration.

Future human missions to the moon, Mars and beyond will require greater understanding of the space environment to ensure crew members are prepped with the best equipment and practices to sustainably operate and live in space before they embark. Fortunately, analog missions—field tests that mimic space-like conditions—are some of the closest ways to gain critical knowledge of what working in and inhabiting space is like.

Through the duration of the mission, the Aerospace crew intends to address eight different focus areas that span across indoor facilities and outdoor extravehicular activity (EVA) exercises.
