Shareef AlRomaithi, a crew member of the UAE’s Analog Programme, is set to participate in an upcoming simulation mission that aims to enhance global aspirations for Mars exploration. He shared that he will miss his three young daughters the most during this challenging 45-day NASA mission. Joining him on this mission are Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, and Piyumi Wijesekara, who will be entering the HERA habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, USA on May 10. The mission is designed to mimic life onboard space habitats and conduct various types of research.

Reflecting on the sacrifices he is making by being away from his family, AlRomaithi expressed his hope that this mission will jumpstart his career in the space sector, where he can contribute to space exploration advancements. With over two decades of preparation, including a strict diet and exercise regime, he feels mentally and physically ready for the challenges ahead. His pilot training has prepared him for working in confined spaces and diverse team environments, skills that will be crucial for this mission.

The HERA habitat where AlRomaithi and his crew will be stationed spans 650 square feet and includes various sections for different activities like medical studies and exercising. Their daily schedule will be packed from 7am to 11pm, with activities ranging from essential medical research to Martian surface simulations. Despite the rigorous schedule, they will have some downtime for activities like exercising, reading books, and engaging in social activities with fellow crew members. The mission does not have a reserve crew, unlike previous ones, as it is a shorter 45-day mission.

Adnan AlRais, Assistant Director General Space Operations and Exploration Sector, emphasized that the Analog mission aims to test human endurance and adaptability while refining technologies and strategies crucial for future expeditions to Mars. The UAE is looking to engage its science community, universities, researchers, and students in these missions to contribute to the implementation of the Mars 2117 strategy for sending humans to Mars and beyond. The mission presents an opportunity for the UAE to develop its capabilities in managing space operations and advancing its space exploration goals.
