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 now beginning. The new analog astronauts come from the UK, Austria, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands. Some of the newly selected analog astronauts will already be deployed in the next Mars mission simulation in Portugal in 2027. Their training begins now.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An expert jury selected the new analog astronauts from several hundred applicants in a multi-stage process. Their basic training began in June. They will complete their training by September 2026, the core of which is to wear and operate the OeWF spacesuit prototypes. The Austrian Space Forum is one of only five organizations worldwide developing such suits. These “dress on spaceships” simulate working in a spacesuit and are used to test equipment and workflows for their suitability for Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gernot Gr\u00f6mer, Director of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF)<\/strong>: “The Austrian Space Forum specializes in preparing for future astronautical expeditions to other planets. Our analog research tests, trials, and searches for weaknesses to ensure everything runs smoothly during actual missions. We want to find errors in workflows and equipment so they aren’t discovered on Mars and cause problems there. The equipment should then be designed to suit the mission environment, procedures planned efficiently, and people properly trained for their tasks. To achieve this, our analog astronauts regularly test equipment that hasn’t yet been certified\u2014equipment that even the astronauts on the International Space Station haven’t seen.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


International Analog Astronaut Team<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The existing analog astronaut corps of the OeWF includes two women and eleven men and is now being supplemented by a further six people: experimental physicist Claudia Gollner from Austria, space-medicine researcher Renana Bruckstein from Germany, biologist Olivia Drayson from the UK, palaeomimicry physicist Nathan Pili from the UK\/Italy, experimental quantum physicist Arfor Houwman from the Netherlands and aerospace engineer Ludovica Valentini from Italy\/Sweden.

Olivia Drayson, UK<\/strong>: \u201eI am a biologist with training in physics and aerospace engineering and currently do research at a particle accelerator facility in Germany. There I study the impact of space radiation on biological cells to protect astronauts on future deep space missions. I have pursued space exploration for many years now and when I heard about the Austrian Space Forum\u2019s analog research as preparation for human missions to the Moon and Mars, I knew I wanted to contribute in any way that I could. By working as an analog astronaut, I can advance humanity\u2019s exploration of the stars.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
Nathan Pili, UK+Italy<\/strong>: \u201cI am a palaeomimicri-expert, which means I study fossils to discover engineering solutions, because in the past nature has solved pretty much any problem we might have now. I joined the Austrian Space Forum as an analog astronaut because it is an international and cooperative setting where we test out equipment and procedures and thus contribute to the safety of astronauts once they are on their way to the red planet.\u201d

<\/em>Claudia Gollner, Austrian analog astronaut:<\/strong> “I am an experimental physicist and work with lasers to research material properties. Working at the OeWF is one of the exciting challenges of my career so far. I look forward to working with scientists from all over the world to advance space research and expand the boundaries of our knowledge.”<\/em>
\u00a0
Some of the newly selected analog astronauts, together with their colleagues from the existing corps, will be deployed in the next Mars mission simulation near Monsaraz, Portugal, in 2027. In collaboration with the OeWF an observatory there was expanded to include a \u201cMars habitat\u201d. This infrastructure has already been used during the World\u2019s Biggest Analog Mission and in two OeWF-led school projects that were funded by the EU.

About the Analog Astronauts<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The core of an OeWF’s Mars mission simulation, i.e. the dry run for future crewed flights to the Red Planet, are the analog astronauts from the Austrian Space Forum. They already have a wide range of qualifications \u2013 such as a university degree in medicine, engineering or natural sciences \u2013 speak several languages and are physically fit above average. In addition to operating the OeWF spacesuit prototype, your basic training at the OeWF also covers geology, planetology, astrobiology, media training, stress management, emergency medicine, survival training and an extensive fitness program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analog astronauts are used in technical tests and Mars mission simulations. To do this, in addition to their basic training, they undergo special training so that they can independently carry out the experiments of the international research partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their missions outside the \u201cMars Habitat\u201d, the analog astronauts wear the OeWF Mars suit prototype. This is like a \u201cdress-on spaceship\u201d and can reflect all the essential limitations of a real Mars spacesuit, such as weight, pressure counterforces or limited perception capabilities. A sophisticated human-machine interface, a system of sensors and self-developed software make the suit a virtual assistant to the astronaut. The 50kg prototype was developed to also optimize collaboration with other (robotic) components, such as a rover, while minimizing the risk of biological contamination of the planet under study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivia DRAYSON \/ UK<\/strong>
Originally from London, Olivia Drayson holds a BA in Physics from Balliol College, Oxford University and a Master\u2019s in Aerospace Engineering from ISAE-Supaero in Toulouse, France. For her Master’s thesis, she led a team of students in developing an experiment for the ISS that investigated the effect of microgravity on blood flow using artificial arteries. She completed her PhD in Environmental Toxicology from the University of California, Irvine where she studied the biological effects of ionizing radiation on the brain with particular focus on mitigating damage to healthy tissue caused by radiotherapy. She currently works as a postdoctoral researcher at GSI Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt, Germany. Her research involves studying how the space radiation environment impacts the brain using the Galactic Cosmic Radiation simulator at GSI. She was the crew science officer for the 2023 analogue space mission to FMARS in Northern Canada and is a committee member of CHASM (the Community of Human Analogue Space Missions).<\/p>\n\n\n
