Six astronauts will spend a month as if on Mars. Ararat region will be Mars, and Vienna will be the conventional Earth.
Mars and Earth are, of course, conditional here, red planet research and astronauts are called analog
because no one actually flies anywhere, but these studies bring humanity closer to the first flight to Mars.
The Austrian Space Forum has been preparing the Mars analog research program for three years, 250 scientists are working on it, and it is being held this year in Armenia, in the Ararat region, where the nature and landscape are very similar to the red planet.
The details are in the report of "Freedom" (in Armenian).
