EuroMoonMars programme & preparation of Euro-MoonMars-Etna campaign
EuroMoonMars is an ILEWGย programme with space agencies, academia, universities and researchย institutions and industries. The ILEWG EuroMoonMars programme includesย research activities for AI & data analysis, instruments tests andย development, field tests in MoonMars analogue, pilot projects, trainingย and hands-on workshops, and outreach activities. EuroMoonMars includesย a programme of grants for Young Professional Researchers. ย EuroMoonMarsย field campaigns have been organized in specific locations of technical,ย scientific and exploration interest. Field tests have been conducted inย ESTEC, EAC, at MoonMars analogues: Utah MDRS station, Eifel, Rio Tinto,ย Iceland, La Reunion,ย LunAres base /AATC in Poland, HI-SEAS base inย Hawaii. These were organized by ILEWG in partnership with ESTEC, VUย Amsterdam, NASA Ames, GWU and other partners.ย Latest campaigns have
been conducted jointly between EuroMoonMars โInternational MoonBaseย Alliance โHiSeas (EMMIHS). In 2019, the EuroMoonMars campaigns wereย launched at HI-SEAS, bringing together researchers from the Europeanย Space Agency, VU Amsterdam, ILEWG and IMA. Six scientists, engineers,ย explorers, journalists spent two weeks at the HI-SEAS station performingย research relevant to both the Moon and Mars there. Research andย technological experiments conducted at HI-SEAS will be used to helpย build a Moonbase in Hawaii, and ultimately to create an actual Moonbaseย on the Moon, as part of IMA & ILEWG major goals.
We give an update on ILEWG EuroMoonMars Results on Instruments andย Outposts, with emphasis on events and field campaigns that took place inย 2019-2021. We also give an update on campaigns EMMIHS in HI-SEASย Hawaii, EMMPOL in Moonbase Poland,ย and preparation of Euro-MoonMars-Etna campaign planned on 6-10 July 2021 as scouting forย ARCHES DLR June 2022 telerobotics campaigns and Exomars 2022.
