Analog Campaign 2024 – 6msc

Each mission in 2023 is a unique research scope and scenario.

More info after application and interview.

Theia I and II

Analog Mission Simulations focused on development of EVA procedures and accessories for geological and operational aspects of spacewalks. Detailed scenarios of spacewalks and a list of accessories to design and 3d-print during isolation mission at LunAres Research Station will be unique research and learning opportunity for Theia participants.


Hestia I and II

Analog Mission Simulations focused on development of Extreme Isolation Habitat located inside EVA hangar. Creation of safe living environment during EVA simulations is aimed at boosting potential for ICE research at LunAres Research Station. Each crew will have opportunity to help designing, building and testing new shelter and participate in unique studies during testing of the new environment.
