Description
A team of "analog astronauts" end an Austrian Space Forum test mission in a simulated Mars base set up in the southern Armenian Ararat region. According to the director of the Austrian Space Forum Gernot Groemer, the team conducted "many experiments in the fields of geoscience, human factors and robotics" over nearly one month. Team member Robert Wild says "we were testing ideas and concepts... in order to prepare for a future mission to Mars."
The Austrian Space Forum, a private organisation made up of aerospace specialists, has already organised 13 missions, the most recent in Israel in 2021. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
