Earth Analogue Workshop at the Research Executive Agency
October 13 2016
The high level goal of the Earth Analogue Workshop was to bring together a community that shares common interests, fostering the sharing of best practices and lessons learnt but also exploring the exploitation potential of the projects.
The EAC (ESA European Astronaut Centre) was also invited to this workshop to present their activities and their plans for the expansion of their site but also to explore potential synergies with the invited projects.
Eight projects were presented:
Habitat: SHEE (Self-deployable Habitat for Extreme Environments) and REGOLIGHT
Human space flight: EDEN ISS and MOONWALK
In situ characterisation: PTAL (Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library), UPCD (Ultrasonic Planetary Core Drill) and MASE (Mars Analogues for Space Exploration)
Sample curation: EURO-CARES
