This article describes the ongoing work of our interns on the Caillou project – a synthetic Raman spectrometer for AMADEE-27. To learn more about idea and design process read this article: https://oewf.org/en/2026/06/synthetic-raman-spectrometer-for-amadee-27/. The second article describes the process how to […]
By Ludovica Valentini and Olivia Drayson When you picture an astronaut, chances are you imagine them wearing a spacesuit. But have you ever wondered what lies behind this sophisticated equipment? Since the beginning of human spaceflight, spacesuits have been developed […]
From the 18th to the 19th of July 2026 the OEWF Analog Astronaut Trainees, with the support of the Ground Operations Support Team (GOST) and a student from BG/BRG Sillgasse who volunteered to take part, demonstrated their expertise during the […]
written by Claudia Gollner and Nathan Pili Before the analog astronaut B-selection, we were told that part of the process would involve presenting to students about a topic of our choosing. What we didn’t know was that these students were […]
written by Renana Bruckstein and Arfor Houwman, Analog Astronauts class of 2026 When you are on a mission – whether in space, in an extreme environment on Earth, or even in a high-performance setting in everyday life – you have […]
After defining the mission requirements and exploring several design concepts in our previous article, the next challenge was to transform those ideas into a functional prototype. A scientific instrument is only valuable if it can be operated efficiently in the […]
Two are from the UK Today, the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) presented its six new analog astronauts. For the four women and their two male colleagues, a globally unique training program, currently offered only by the Austrian Space Forum, is […]
As part of the upcoming AMADEE-27 Mars analog mission in Portugal, our team is hard at work on the “Caillou” project. Our goal is to develop a functional prototype of a Synthetic Raman Spectrometer, a payload designed to be integrated […]
Leon Deutsch from the Medical University Vienna, together with Prof. Dr. Nandu Goswami from the Medical University of Graz, teamed up with the Austrian Space Forum to study the human body locomotion under (simulated) reducted gravity at the Vertical Treadmill, […]
As we look back on 2025 we celebrate a year marked by the World’s Biggest Analog, a Vertical Treadmill in full swing, and the expansion of our educational initiatives. From connecting 16 analog habitats worldwide to training the next generation […]
