Your connection to the world of human spaceflight analogs.
Discover analog habitats and mission opportunities worldwide. Document your experience, build your Mission CV, and access the information you need to take your next step.
What is an analog mission? A practice mission on Earth, in a habitat that stands in for a spacecraft or a base on the Moon or Mars, where a crew lives and works the way they would in space.
Introduction
Bringing the human spaceflight analog community together.
Human spaceflight analog missions take place around the world, yet information about facilities, mission opportunities, and past missions is often spread across multiple websites and organizations. Analog Atlas was developed to bring that information together in one accessible resource.
Whether you're exploring your first analog mission, looking for your next opportunity, or documenting years of experience, Analog Atlas makes it easier to find information, explore opportunities, and maintain a record of your involvement in the field.
