On the last day of the year, we reflect on the most significant moments of the OeWF year. From the successful Mars simulation in Armenia to the farewell of our 2nd CubeSat ADLER-2 and the advancement of our educational initiatives […]
Advances in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years hold promise for support of long duration crewed exploration missions to Mars and beyond. Tools developed from these advances could assist in the maintenance of critical systems such as life […]
Human space exploration typically requires considerable teamwork involving multiple disciplines in science and engineering. Effective and efficient field systems and information flow with the support teams are paramount for mission success. Moreover, human-robotic teams will be crucial in future Mars […]
Crewed missions to Moon and Mars are foreseen for the coming decades, posing new challenges for human movement science, particularly regarding space suit design, mobility, and motor control in different gravitational environments (Belobrajdic et al., 2021). The risk for operational […]
Telomeres are essential structures located at the ends of linear chromosomes in eukaryotes. In humans, they consist of short TTAGGG repeats and are associated with various proteins [ref]. They play a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of chromosomes […]
Surprising Outcome of Mars Analog Mission AMADEE-24 Scientists are uncovering new insights into how isolation in simulated space environments can affect human cellular health. In a recent study conducted as part of the Austrian Space Forum’s (OeWF) AMADEE-24 Mars mission […]
The iROCS – Intuitive Rover Operation and Collecting Samples project focuses on developing and deploying a robotic system to assist analog astronauts during the AMADEE-24 Mars simulation in Armenia. The robot plays a pivotal role in supporting extraterrestrial-like missions by […]
On September 30th, the Argo Student Robotics Team had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Gernot Grömer, president of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF), in Belgrade. On October 1st, Dr. Grömer delivered a seminar at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in […]
The Polarstern Award 2024 – the Austrian Space Award® – goes to the renowned astrophysicist Prof. Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger. Since 2009, this prize of the Austrian Space Forum (ÖWF) has honored outstanding personalities who have made a special contribution to […]
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of “space exploration”? Perhaps the moon, bathed in a dark blue tincture; honeycomb-shaped gold foil slowly unfolding to collect solar energy; a camera gliding through space 1.5 […]
