Desierto en Israel permite a astronautas simular ‘la vida en Marte’

El Foro Espacial Austriaco instaló su ‘base marciana’ en Mitzpé Ramon, el mayor cráter de erosión del mundo

TOPSHOT - A couple of astronauts from a team from Europe and Israel walk in spacesuits during a training mission for planet Mars at a site that simulates an off-site station at the Ramon Crater in Mitzpe Ramon in Israel's southern Negev desert on October 10, 2021. - Six astronauts from Portugal, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Israel will be cut off from the world for a month, from October 4-31, only able leave their habitat in spacesuits as if they were on Mars. Their mission, the AMADEE-20 Mars simulation, will be carried out in a Martian terrestrial analog and directed by a dedicated Mission Support Center in Austria, to conduct experiments ahead of future human and robotic Mars exploration missions.

(Video) Astronautas simulan la vida en Marte en un desierto de Israel

Mitzpé Ramon, Israel. En un cráter de 500 metros de profundidad, perdido en medio del desierto ocre de Neguev, los astronautas con sus trajes espaciales caminan lentamente. ¿Su misión? Simular en el sur de Israel las condiciones de vida en Marte.

En este marco tan peculiar del Mitzpé Ramon, el mayor cráter de erosión del mundo con 40 km de longitud, el Foro Espacial Austriaco (OeWF) instaló su “base marciana”, en colaboración con la agencia espacial israelí, dentro de la misión Amadee-20, prevista inicialmente el año pasado pero aplazada debido a la pandemia de covid-19.
