AMADEE-24: A Leap Forward in Mars Exploration
Set in the Mars-like landscape of Armenia‘s Ararat province, the AMADEE-24 mission involves a team of international analog astronauts led by Commander Anika Mehlis. The mission‘s primary focus is to test life support systems, conduct scientific experiments, and develop strategies for future human-robotic exploration on Mars. The findings from this mission are expected to significantly advance our understanding of the Martian environment and human factors in space exploration.
