What Is an Analog Mission?

An analog mission is an Earth-based simulation that recreates selected challenges of human space missions. Participants operate as a crew in mission-like environments, practicing teamwork, communication, research, field operations, problem-solving, and emergency response.

It provides a practical way to understand how crews live, work, communicate, and make decisions under mission-like conditions—without travelling to space.
