Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Forty years after the Apollo missions, the international space community is considering a manned return to the Moon, and beyond, the human exploration of Mars. In preparation for these new developments, it will be useful to have analogue sites presenting some similarities with lunar and martian conditions, for the purpose of testing equipments and procedures. There have been so far simulations in Antarctica, and there is an operational research site
