Have you ever dreamed of sending an interplanetary tweet? The Austrian Space Forum invites Twitter enthusiasts from around the world to send a message they would like to see written in the \u201cMartian\u201d soil during the Mars2013 analogue mission, which will take place between the 1st and 28th of February 2013 in Morocco. Let\u2019s get together and find out how it feels to send a tweet to Mars!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Send<\/a><\/p>\n

Participating tweets can be sent between January 16, 2013 and February 20, 2013<\/strong> and must have the following format:
\n@oewf [type your message here]<\/em> #simulateMars.<\/p>\n

From all tweets, the Austrian Space Forum will pick one winning tweet, which will be communicated by our Mission Support Center to our field crew. In the last simulation week (which is the last February week), the field crew will write the message in the \u201cMoroccan Martian\u201d soil together with the Twitter username of the winner. The message will be immortalized in a photo and distributed via Twitter and other communication channels by the OeWF.
\nThe winner will also receive a gift bag containing: OeWF postcards, OeWF ball pen, and an OeWF poloshirt.
\nParticipants in the competition must follow @oewf so that we can send a direct message via Twitter to the winner.
