🔴 #RedPlanetDay is celebrated every year on November 28, marking the launch of the Mariner 4 spacecraft towards Mars in 1964. Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to fly by Mars successfully; it sent back the first close-up images of the planet's surface.

👩🏽‍🚀58 years later, we are doing analog missions like AMADEE in the hope of someday landing on the red planet ourselves. Let's use this day to celebrate and highlight the importance of these crucial missions.

🙌Let's remember the incredible accomplishments and work together to create a brighter future for Earth, Mars and beyond!

❓ How's It Going Down?
We're snagging air samples from the #AMADEE24 habitat in Armenia for a week. IAQHabitat's team will then geek out over these samples, figuring out what's in the air and if it's "hashtag-worthy."

🔍 Why Should You Care?
Picture astronauts kickin' it on Mars for ages. Now, keeping the vibe fresh indoors is key. IAQHabitat is on a quest to crack the code on indoor air quality to ensure future space explorers breathe safely.

The atmospheric nightglow occurs when two oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule about 50 km above the planetary surface. This observation was unexpected and, therefore, interesting for the scientific community. Find out more about this discovery on @europeanspaceagency

Since humanity began exploring space, more and mor

Since humanity began exploring space, more and more space debris has been left behind, an estimated 10 million kilograms in total. This is not only a moral concern but can also be an active problem regarding the safety of satellites and, therefore, large parts of our infrastructure. 🌐
Therefore, the European Space Agency has developed a plan to reduce this pollution to ensure more excellent safety: "Once a week, a satellite or rocket body reenters uncontrolled through our atmosphere. Behavior in space has to change."
The idea of reducing space debris in the first place is, among other things, to remove old, no longer functional satellites but also to ensure that a precise risk assessment is carried out in order to guarantee safe disposals and avoid in-orbit collisions.
This is where our ADLER-2 satellite comes into play, which has been detecting and analyzing space debris since its launch over six months ago as the successor to ADLER-1. This helps us to really understand the problem and tackle it together. 🛰️

Have you ever wondered how robots can help astronauts explore a Martian surface? The iROCS experiment led by the Fachhochschule Oberösterreich and the University of Würzburg is going to research this question during #AMADEE24 in Armenia.

🤖 Experiment Overview:
Meet Irma3D, robot Charlie, and the RTE robot, our trio of intelligent companions for analog astronauts. They're not just exploring the simulated Martian surface but helping analog astronauts on EVA. From collecting rock samples to mapping terrain and searching for water, these robots show how human-robotic interaction can work.

🔴 #RedPlanetDay is celebrated every year on Nov

🔴 #RedPlanetDay is celebrated every year on November 28, marking the launch of the Mariner 4 spacecraft towards Mars in 1964. Mariner 4 was the first spacecraft to fly by Mars successfully; it sent back the first close-up images of the planet's surface.

👩🏽‍🚀58 years later, we are doing analog missions like AMADEE in the hope of someday landing on the red planet ourselves. Let's use this day to celebrate and highlight the importance of these crucial missions.

🙌Let's remember the incredible accomplishments and work together to create a brighter future for Earth, Mars and beyond!

#ScienceSunday Next year, we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the first Moon landing. To make this historic #Apollo11 mission possible, it is necessary to look back into the year 1968 and how the preparations helped bring Neil Amstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the Moon and back. 🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🌕

We are proud to announce that we will be participating in this year's "Crewed Analog Missions for Planetary Human Exploration" at the upcoming EGU 2024! 🪐
From April fourteenth to nineteenth, any findings regarding past Amadee missions will be presented and we are still in the "call for abstracts" phase. So if you are interested in presenting your research to a wider audience, you now have the unique opportunity to contribute to a better understanding of the highly interdisciplinary research field of analog missions. 🧑‍🔬
Topics can range from mission architecture to spacecraft design, life support systems, psychological challenges, experiment design up to scientific assessment.
Entries can be submitted until January 9th, check out more information here: https://ow.ly/jin550Q8WSW.
We are looking forward to gaining exciting insights in Vienna! 🤩

🔴 #AMADEE24 Experiment Spotlight: Unveiling Martian Air Secrets! 🚀🇩🇪

Ever thought about the scent inside a Martian habitat? 🤔 IAQHabitat, an experiment by Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research (WKI), Germany, won't spill on the Martian aroma but is here to spill the tea on indoor air quality!

❓ How's It Going Down?
We're snagging air samples from the #AMADEE24 habitat in Armenia for a week. IAQHabitat's team will then geek out over these samples, figuring out what's in the air and if it's "hashtag-worthy."

🔍 Why Should You Care?
Picture astronauts kickin' it on Mars for ages. Now, keeping the vibe fresh indoors is key. IAQHabitat is on a quest to crack the code on indoor air quality to ensure future space explorers breathe safely.

#ScienceSunday For the first time, ESA’s ExoMars

#ScienceSunday For the first time, ESA’s ExoMars #TGO mission detected a visible nightglow in the Martian atmosphere. 😮

The atmospheric nightglow occurs when two oxygen atoms combine to form an oxygen molecule about 50 km above the planetary surface. This observation was unexpected and, therefore, interesting for the scientific community. Find out more about this discovery on @europeanspaceagency

Since humanity began exploring space, more and mor

Since humanity began exploring space, more and more space debris has been left behind, an estimated 10 million kilograms in total. This is not only a moral concern but can also be an active problem regarding the safety of satellites and, therefore, large parts of our infrastructure. 🌐
Therefore, the European Space Agency has developed a plan to reduce this pollution to ensure more excellent safety: "Once a week, a satellite or rocket body reenters uncontrolled through our atmosphere. Behavior in space has to change."
The idea of reducing space debris in the first place is, among other things, to remove old, no longer functional satellites but also to ensure that a precise risk assessment is carried out in order to guarantee safe disposals and avoid in-orbit collisions.
This is where our ADLER-2 satellite comes into play, which has been detecting and analyzing space debris since its launch over six months ago as the successor to ADLER-1. This helps us to really understand the problem and tackle it together. 🛰️

🔴 #AMADEE24 Experiment Spotlight: Embark on a Robotic Adventure with iROCS on #simulateMars 🇦🇹🇩🇪

Have you ever wondered how robots can help astronauts explore a Martian surface? The iROCS experiment led by the Fachhochschule Oberösterreich and the University of Würzburg is going to research this question during #AMADEE24 in Armenia.

🤖 Experiment Overview:
Meet Irma3D, robot Charlie, and the RTE robot, our trio of intelligent companions for analog astronauts. They're not just exploring the simulated Martian surface but helping analog astronauts on EVA. From collecting rock samples to mapping terrain and searching for water, these robots show how human-robotic interaction can work.
