ANALOG is a documentary following crew ARG-1M at the Mars Desert Research Station as they simulate a 2-week mission to Mars. The crew consists of students and faculty of the American Public University System in the Space Studies program that are a part of the APUS Analog Research Group (AARG). They conduct research in analog habitats to further the goals and progress of human space exploration to the Moon and Mars. But this endeavor needs more than rocket scientists and astronomers. Mars needs masters of business, communications, arts, accounting, janitorial services and hot dogs stands! If you've got an idea, than consider pursuing a B.S. or M.S. Space Studies at APUS.
