Our Analog Crew Spent Two Weeks in a Simulated Mars Mission

Future human missions to the moon and Mars require understanding the space environment to ensure crew members are prepared. Analog missions — field tests that mimic space-like conditions — are some of the closest ways we gain critical knowledge of what working in and inhabiting space is like. — To anticipate the needs of future space missions and sustainable operations in cislunar and Martian environments, The Aerospace Corporation sponsored a two-week analog mission at The Mars Society’s Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in remote Hanksville, Utah, beginning Nov. 27.
