The physical and mental stress that analog astronauts experience during a mission can be enormous. Outside temperatures around 30°C, the weight of the Aouda space suit simulator with about 50 kg and the additional stress caused by the exoskeletons to […]
Weltraummüll ist ein wichtiges Thema für die Raumfahrtindustrie, und die beiden Space-Debris-Satelliten ADLER-1 und ADLER-2 sollen helfen, ihn aufzuspüren und zu analysieren. Die Datenanalysewird wesentlich vom Start-Up Tilebox unterstützt.Der Kleinsatellit ADLER-1 feierte erst kürzlich sein einjähriges Flug-Jubiläum. Mit dem vom […]
Several factors must be considered to determine whether an area is suitable for Mars analog missions on Earth. First and foremost, the physical and geological characteristics of the terrain must be studied. Therefore, soil and sediment samples from Armenia, collected […]
Our international Mars simulation take us to Mars-like regions on Earth. Directed by a Mission Support Center in Austria, small field crews conduct experiments to prepare for future human Mars missions. But there are many ways to work as a […]
On the last day of the year, we look back on a year full of space activities and research projects. The launch of the ADLER-1 cubesat in January 2022 was certainly a milestone at OeWF: For the first time, hardware […]
The Mars analog missions of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) within the framework of the AMADEE program take place on Earth but are not devoid of any risk. Indeed, for participants of such missions it means being sent to very […]
Our analog astronauts are specifically trained space suit testers. After a comprehensive selection process they undergo several months of intensive basic training before they are deployed on technical tests and Mars simulations. During the AMADEE-20 mission, our six analog astronauts […]
