Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

The data we collect will directly inform the design and operation of future lunar and Martian habitats.

This mission represents one of 16 analog research stations operating simultaneously worldwide, with over 40 analog astronauts participating in what may be the largest coordinated space analog study ever conducted.

While I'm thrilled about this opportunity to contribute directly to analog-to-orbit readiness research, there's a bittersweet element—I won't be joining my colleagues at Mission Control in Vienna with the Austrian Space Forum's MICO-VIE team.

Our crew will operate under isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) conditions, conducting experiments in systems engineering, human factors research, space systems integration, and psychophysiological resilience studies.

The station is situated in rugged, Mars-like terrain in Armenia's Ararat province—chosen specifically for its geological and topographical similarities to the Red Planet.

Update! Dreams do come true! I've just received my first analog astronaut assignment. I'll be deploying as Communications Officer to the Mars Analog Research Station in Armash, Armenia from October 10–26, 2025, as part of a 6-member crew conducting critical research for future Mars exploration.
