In analogy to future space missions, scientists conduct experiments, test technology and practice mission procedures. This helps to prepare future human missions to the Moon and Mars.<br \/>\nThe <strong>\u201cVienna Statement on Analog Planetary Research\u201d (VSAPR)<\/strong> recognizes analog planetary research as a scientific discipline. It highlights the importance of the field in the preparation of future human missions to distant worlds and points out the benefits of analog research for space exploration. Furthermore, it states three goals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scientific institutions shall increase their support to analog planetary research and better integrate it into their activities.<\/li>\n<li>The field shall closer cooperate and raise its efficiency through networks and platforms for global exchange.<\/li>\n<li>Research results shall be made publicly available and activities shall be better integrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIn the past ten years, analog research has greatly matured. The missions of the Austrian Space Forum and many other institutions have become more professional and thereby yielded valuable scientific results. For this reason, we feel that it\u2019s time to clearly state the field\u2019s goals and communicate them outward\u201d, <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>explains Dr. Gernot Gr\u00f6mer, President of the OeWF.<br \/>\nThe VSAPR enjoys the support of numerous institutions and scientists from all over the world. It brings together people from various levels of professionalism, nations and walks of life and helps foster international collaboration.<br \/>\nThe VSAPR as well as a list of its signatories is available here: https:\/\/oewf.org\/en\/analog-planetary-research\/ <\/p>\n<p><strong>Media Contact:<\/strong><br \/>\nMag.
