A group of researchers from ISR-Lisboa will be participating in the AMADEE-24 mission, a space simulation expedition to Mars. The mission will take place in Armenia for a month. The researchers, along with analogue astronauts, will be working on improving teleoperation of remote rovers and providing astronauts with troubleshooting tools. AMADEE-24 is organized by the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) and aims to optimize remote science support for planetary surface operations. This will be the 14th analogue mission to Mars organized by OeWF.
