We report on the MARS2013 mission, a 4-week Mars analog field test in northern Sahara. Nineteen experiments were conducted by crew Morocco under simulated martian surface exploration conditions, supervised Mission Support Center Innsbruck, Austria. A Remote Science team analyzed data near real time, providing planning input for management of complex system assets; two advanced space suit simulators, four robotic vehicles, an emergency shelter, and stationary sensor platform realistic work...
Abstract This review focuses on advanced materials already used and suitable for application in (future) lunar extravehicular activity space suits. A historical current literature/market survey is presented. Different functional layers of an astronaut garment are defined with emphasis the external subjected to abrasive action regolith degradation via exposure radiation/vacuum environment. Requirements that would need be fulfilled by these candidates reviewed based their key properties,...
From February 1 to 28, 2018, the Austrian Space Forum, in cooperation with Oman Astronomical Society and research teams from 25 nations, conducted AMADEE-18 mission, a human-robotic Mars expedition simulation Dhofar region Sultanate of Oman. A carefully selected field crew, supported by Mission Support Center Innsbruck, Austria, 19 experiments relevant astrobiology, engineering disciplines, geoscience, operations research, human factors. This was 12th series analog missions that emulate...
On future human Mars missions, surface sojourn duration and resources will be limited. One possibility to approach a positive cost-benefit ratio of mission maximize the scientific research on martian within operational, environmental, experimental limitations. Sophisticated operations advanced planning strategies basic requirement for exploration make operational methods an important subject during current analog missions conducted by Austrian Space Forum. The Morocco field simulation...
We have developed a portable dual-wavelength laser fluorescence spectrometer as part of multi-instrument optical probe to characterize mineral, organic, and microbial species in extreme environments. Operating at 405 532 nm, the instrument was originally designed for use by human explorers produce laser-induced emission (L.I.F.E.) spectral database mineral organic molecules found communities Earth's cryosphere. Recently, our team had opportunity explore strengths limitations when it deployed...
Martian caves are regarded as one of the most interesting locations in which to search for life on planet. Data obtained during MARS2013 expedition at Hamar Laghdad Ridge Tafilalt region Morocco indicate that even small cavities can display thermal behavior is characteristic caves. For example, temperature a cavity equaled 14°C±0.1°C before sunrise, was higher than ambient air (10°C±0.1°C) and proximate rocks (9°C±0.1°C) same time. Within 30 min after when surrounding corresponded 15°C, this...
