Lunares Research Station

Analog Research Station in Piła, Poland. Become an analog astronaut with us! Habitat Lunares is a simulated space base. It was opened on July 29, 20

It’s the only object of its kind in Europe, where conditions of the future base on the Moon or Mars will be simulated. The habitat is located at the former military airport in Pila.

Moonwalks, even these simulated, are vast topics. How to prepare before getting off the safe airlock? You can find out from Analog Workshops’ Module 3: Simulation, Immersion and EVA Operations.

This module introduces participants to the operational side of analog missions by examining how realistic simulation and immersion support both research and astronaut training. Participants explore the principles of immersive mission design, environmental simulation, operational realism, and human behavior studies within analog environments 🧑‍🚀

Building on this theoretical foundation, participants complete comprehensive Extravehicular Activity (EVA) training, including suit familiarization, operational procedures, safety protocols, communication, EVA simulation planning, and emergency response. Multiple practical EVA simulations allow participants to progressively develop operational skills, teamwork, scientific task ex*****on, and mission discipline within a realistic analog environment 🌕

What topics will be covered?
🔸Simulation and immersion in analog missions
🔸EVA theory and preparation
🔸EVA safety procedures
🔸EVA simulation training
🔸Practical EVA exercises
🔸EVA simulation debriefings

There are only 8 spots available, so don’t hesitate and fill out the application form (the same as for the missions). During the workshops, we offer full accommodation and meals. The cost of participation is 950 Euro.

How are we organising our missions? You can learn that during the Analog Workshop in October!

Module 2: Mission Design, Crew Operations and Safety focuses on how analog missions are designed, planned, and safely executed. Participants learn the principles of mission architecture, including mission planning, operational procedures, crew organization, communication protocols, scheduling, resource management, and mission documentation 📄

The module also introduces the role of the analog astronaut, discussing required competencies, career pathways, professional conduct, teamwork, leadership, and psychological resilience in isolated environments 🧑‍🚀

Safety is presented as a core component of mission success. Participants examine risk assessment, emergency preparedness, habitat safety systems, emergency procedures, medical response, and crew responsibilities through practical examples based on LunAres operations.

What topics will be covered?
🔸Analog mission architecture
🔸Mission planning and flight plans
🔸Crew organization and Mission Control
🔸Analog Astronaut Guide
🔸Analog mission safety
🔸Emergency procedures and crew training

Are you curious about what we planned for the Analog Workshop? Let’s dive into Module 1: Introduction to Analog Missions and Habitats 👨‍🚀

This module provides participants with the fundamental knowledge required to understand the purpose and value of analog missions as preparation for human space exploration. Participants are introduced to the concept of analog missions, their role in research, astronaut training, technology validation, and operational testing. The module also explores the diversity of analog habitats around the world, comparing their architectural concepts, mission objectives, and research capabilities 🔬

Using LunAres as a case study, participants become familiar with the infrastructure of a professional analog habitat, including habitat systems, laboratories, crew living spaces, Mission Control integration, technical facilities, and operational logistics. The module concludes with an introduction to the daily functioning of an analog habitat and its contribution to future Lunar and Martian exploration 🌕

What topics will be covered?
🔸Workshop introduction
🔸What is an analog mission?
🔸Types of analog missions
🔸Types of analog habitats
🔸Analog infrastructures with a case example of LunAres
🔸Habitat operations and logistics
