Abstract:
James Burk will be the commander of MDRS Crew 261 composed of professional analog astronauts from the US, Canada, France and Belgium. As part of the preparation for MDRS Crew 261 (Dec 2021), our crew held a call for experiments across the space analog science community. We selected 10 experiments which run the gamut of the disciplines of medicine, chemisty, biology, robotics, sociology, psychology and human factors challenges for a human Mars mission. James will present our roster of experiments and our plan for executing them during our mission in December.
