About this listen

This episode examines the advantages of using underwater habitats for simulating space missions, particularly for long-duration stays on the Moon and Mars. While acknowledging the limitations of previous facilities like land-based analogs and training pools, the text emphasizes how next-generation underwater habitats, with modular designs and advanced technology, can overcome these shortcomings. It highlights the similarities between extreme space and underwater environments, such as the impression of reduced gravity, psychological stressors, and technical/logistical demands. Finally, the paper presents the Calamar Park concept for a European Underwater Research Station as a promising solution that addresses the new requirements for space travel simulations, emphasizing its potential for international collaboration and interdisciplinary use.
