Workshop
Coming up! Surviving on Mars
In the future, we may travel to Mars, but how will we survive there? What technologies do we need, and how far are we in developing and testing them? What does this process look like?
In 2019, Charlotte Pouwels participated in the European Space Agency’s analog mission EMMIHS-II. By locking herself up in Mars-like habitats, she has been testing important aspects of future space missions and gaining firsthand experience while conducting her own research. Since then, Charlotte her analog company ICEE.Space, supported by ESA BIC, conducts analog missions world-wide to support pioneering research. Join us at this event to learn more about the future of space exploration!
