A small field crew of highly trained analog astronauts with spacesuit simulators will conduct experiments preparing for future human and robotic Mars exploration missions. The crew for the mission has already been determined: 2 women and 4 men from Austria, Germany, Israel, Italy and Great Britain will be recruited as so-called analog astronauts. With Anika Mehlis from Germany, a woman will lead the mission for the first time. Co-commander is the Austrian physicist Robert Wild.
