On Sept 15, 2021, our friend and colleague Dr. Sian Proctor achieved her life-long dream of launching into space and becoming an astronaut on the Crew Dragon as part of the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission! My fellow analog astronauts Dr. Brandy Nunez and Makiah Eustice share our impressions and insights of this historic flight in an intimate conversation together- 24 hours after witnessing the launch live from the Kennedy Space Center at historic Launch complex 39-A. Together, we discuss what this means for a new generation of space explorers, what this flight means for women, and what Dr. Sian Proctor brings to every interaction she has. Buckle in, because THIS episode allows us to showcase, from our own perspectives, the journey our friend has been on, and why we're oh-so-proud and can't contain our excitement for Sian's successful mission, and her many future endeavors!!! About Dr. Sian Proctor: Sian is an American geology professor, science communicator, and commercial astronaut. She was launched into Earth orbit, on September 15, 2021, as the pilot of the Crew Dragon space capsule. This mission is the Inspiration4 private orbital spaceflight. She served as the pilot on the Inspiration4 mission, the first Black woman to serve as the pilot of a spacecraft. Share your Support for Dr. Proctor and her Artwork Here: https://myspace2inspire.com/ About Inspiration4 Inspiration4 is the world's first all-civilian mission to orbit. The mission will be commanded by Jared Isaacman, the 38-year-old founder and Chief Executive Officer of Shift4 Payments and an accomplished pilot and adventurer. Inspiration4 will leave Earth from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39A, the embarkation point for Apollo and Space Shuttle missions, and travel across a low earth orbit on a multi-day journey that will continually eclipse more than 90% of the earth's population. Named in recognition of the four-person crew that will raise awareness and funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, this milestone represents a new era for human spaceflight and exploration. https://inspiration4.com/ About Dr. Brandy Nunez: Dr. Brandy Nunez is a practicing small animal veterinarian, a modular synth musician and an aspiring astronaut.

If someone offered you the chance to drop everything, fly to Hawaii, and spend four months trapped in a dome with seven strangers in the name of science, would you do it? For writer Kate Greene, the answer to that question was a resounding “yes.” Greene was one of eight people selected to crew the very first HI-SEAS Mars analogue mission in 2013. In her recent book Once Upon a Time I Lived on Mars, she looked back on that time and what it taught her about the psychological challenges of long-haul space travel. For decades, NASA has been running simulations on Earth to prepare astronauts for their time in space. But the six HI-SEAS missions taking place between 2013 and 2018 represented a shift in thinking towards the logistics of journeying to the red planet. The very first mission focused on something we all spend a lot of time thinking about: food. Greene’s crew spent four months in a habitat on the side of Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Volcano, tasked with chronicling their relationship to food over time to better understand a phenomenon called “menu fatigue.” They noted down what they craved, what they grew bored with, and what might keep them interested in their meals. Later missions lasted even longer, and focused on team cohesion, communication, and cooperation. These simulated missions highlight the inherent contradiction in what NASA looks for in long-haul astronaut candidates, says Greene. They need someone who doesn’t bore easily, who gets along well with others, who is averse to drama and risk-taking yet willing to jet off to another planet. Greene knew going in that she’d be living in cramped quarters with people she barely knew. She knew that she’d be limited to a small selection of shelf-stable and rehydrated “instant” meals. But the mission also affected Greene in ways she didn’t expect, forcing her to challenge her own preconceived notions about herself. In this episode of AGU’s podcast Third Pod from the Sun, AGU chatted with Greene about the qualities NASA might look for in a Mars-bound astronaut, what she packed for Mars, what she missed during her time in the dome, and how her experience compared to the isolation of our pandemic year. This episode was produced by Rachel Fritts and mixed by Kayla Surrey.

On peut aussi voir le bouclier thermique, qui a protégé le vaisseau lors de son entrée dans l'atmosphère à une vitesse de 20.000 km/h, être largué, à neuf kilomètres d'altitude. Les deux autres vues montrent le rover Perseverance, suspendu par trois câbles et ralenti par huit rétrofusées, être doucement déposé au solUn message caché dans le parachutePour faire plaisir aux amateurs de devinettes, la Nasa a caché sur le parachute rouge et blanc du rover un code secret, une référence à l’un des slogans de la mythique agence spatiale: “dare mighty things”, soit “prenez des risques”.Lundi, quelques heures après que la Nasa ait dévoilé les premières images de l’atterrissage de Perseverance, un étudiant français, Maxence Abela, a découvert avec son père un message secret caché dans le code couleur du parachute. Le mec, tellement callé a découvert un message caché, chiffré en Language binaire dans les cercles du parachute.Bonus pour les geeks—Le compte Twitter du robot PersévéranceEcrit à la première personne.

Mars Mission Success with Dr. Sian Proctor, Sensoria Mission Control Mission control plays a critical role in the success of any analog mission. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes activities that the Commander and Mission Control work to resolve, provide and communicate. As a one of the original analog astronauts at the HI-SEAS research facility, and as a analog astronaut to many other mission locations on both land and at sea, Dr. Sian Proctor was perfectly positioned to serve as Mission Control for the Sensoria Mission last November! Dr. Sian lends her uniquely qualified perspective with Beth as she provides answers to the following questions: Do you have to be a former analog astronaut to work at mission control? What’s more challenging: being in the habitat or working to support a crew remotely from mission control? What’s the difference between working in Mission Control and volunteering to serve as mission support? Dr. Sian has served as both an analog astronaut and as mission control. From her experienced perspective, what items does she insist are going to be necessary to bring with when humans travel to Mars? Answers to these questions and more, on this episode of Casual Space!

If humans want to explore the solar system (and beyond), we'll have to learn to do something inconceivable for most of us pre-pandemic — exist with each other in tiny quarters for months. Kim Binsted's HI-SEAS program is trying to teach us how to do just that. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Beth recently returned from Mars, and Chad has a few questions. In November, 2020- Beth Mund and 5 other crew members lived, worked and survived a simulated “Mars” mission at the HI-SEAS research facility on the big island of Hawaii. In this episode, Beth “unpacks” the questions Chad has, like, What is an analog astronaut? Why Mars? Why do a mission like this, and what’s been learned so far, and what’s next?” Here are some answers to Chad’s questions beyond the conversation on the podcast, in Beth’s own words: What is an Analog astronaut? Why are they important to our future missions to explore beyond Earth and our wonders in the universe? An analog astronaut is a person who conducts activities in simulated space conditions. Ground-based studies involving analog astronauts are conducted by many laboratories, facilities, and research centers around the world. Analog astronauts engage in a wide range of research such as human physiology, psychology, crew cohesion, exercise, and nutritional studies along with testing cutting-edge science, technology, & engineering applications. Analog missions are recognized by NASA and are seen as an important part of space exploration. I was one of 6 ALL FEMALE crew members that included scientists, researchers, musicians, artists, doctors, Moms, active military service members, and writers! All professionals who applied their science to the mission, along with the required science that was expected of us. Why “Mars,” or “why Hawaii?” I stayed on the main island, Hawaii on top on Mona Kea volcano at the HI-SEAS research facility. It’s run by the International Moon Base Alliance. It looks a LOT like Mars and has many features that are Mars-like! The terrain, the rocks, the cold weather, the remoteness, etc. Many people apply to be an analog astronaut as part of the NASA training and application to become an actual astronaut. Although so few are selected, it’s extreme experiences like these analog missions that help showcase their ability to work and live in space with success. Often, astronauts will work to accomplish MANY analog missions. HI-SEAS is one facility that runs analog missions- there are others in the US and around the world. They are run and affiliated with different companies and institutions. So why do this? What has been learned so far? Living off earth is HARD. Exploring takes guts and lots of being uncomfortable. I did this for my own personal reasons and for professional reasons, too. I’ll be sharing the personal and professional in more detail in my blog, be sure to read it. What we’ve learned is that humans are difficult, and fragile and it’s beyond challenging to live in space and off-planet. But IT CAN BE DONE. It can even be fun at times. We have learned SO much from the ISS. Analog missions help us learn in detail (and in person!) about: Geology and astrobiology Physiological and psychological and sociological research Technology testing Engineering & Maintenance Systems Outreach and Research (More details to read about these on the blog) Here is some information about why we explore space, from my favorite science guy (and yours): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnDt_DOZeLY What’s next? (NASA is returning humans to the moon in 2024 with Artemis program. We’re going to the moon to STAY. We can learn what works well for living and surviving on the Moon close to Earth before were years away on Mars! Mars changed me. Forever. In all kinds of ways. I use less water and electricity, (ha)! I have a deeper understanding of the overview effect and how precious our own earth is. I am still capturing lessons from my experience that make me stop in my everyday moments and realize how lucky we are- to be living on this planet- to be LIVING! Here is some detailed information about the HI-SEAS facility: http://www.HI-SEAS.org Here is some interesting information about an analog astronaut: http://www.analogastronaut.com/2018/08/what-is-analog-astronaut.html, and https://www.nasa.gov/analogs/what-are-analog-missions
