🚀 TRAINING FOR ASCLEPIOS VI 🚀
Our journey toward the next student‑led analog space mission is well underway! Asclepios VI will bring together students from around the world to simulate life and scientific exploration at the Lunar South Pole, pushing boundaries in robotics, space medicine, botany, psychology, and mission operations.
Over the coming months, our astronaut crew will undergo intensive preparation:
🌕 Extreme environment training
🧠 Stress‑management & psychology workshops
🧪 Science and experiment‑specific training
🤖 Mission Control simulations
🌿 Space‑relevant scientific research
✈️ Microgravity parabolic flight training
None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our partners.
A big thank you to Chimpanzee Sports Nutrition, one of our valued sponsors, for providing high-quality natural sports nutrition. Their energy bars and porridge help support our astronauts during the demanding physical and mental challenges of training and mission ex*****on.
Space exploration has no borders — and together, we’re shaping the next generation of explorers. 🌍✨

The story of the background picture:
This Voyager 2 mosaic of Enceladus was made from images taken through the clear, violet, and green filters on Aug. 25, 1981, from a distance of 119,000 kilometers (74,000 miles). In many ways, the surface of this satellite of Saturn resembles that of Jupiter's Galilean satellite Ganymede. Enceladus, however, is only one-tenth Ganymede's size. Some regions of Enceladus show impact craters up to 35 kilometers (22 miles) in diameter, whereas other areas are smooth and uncratered.
