Analogs for planetary exploration

W. Brent Garry, Editor ; Jacob E. Bleacher, Editor | Boulder, Colo. (United States) : Geological Society of America | Special papers (Geological Society of America) | 2011

Where on Earth is it like Mars? How were the Apollo astronauts trained to be geologists on the Moon? Are volcanoes on Earth just like the ones on other planets? The exploration of our solar system begins in our own backyard. Discoveries on other[...]

NASA's analog missions : paving the way for space exploration

John Olson, Author ; Douglas Craig, Author ; National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Langley research center., Author | [S.l.] : National Aeronautics and Space Administration | 2011

To help prepare for the real-life challenges of space exploration, NASA relies on Earth-based missions that emphasize multiple elements as similar, or analogous, to space. These are called analog missions. This report profiles six analog mission[...]
