Mars analog field simulation in the Dhofar region, Oman.
'Conscientiousness' key to team success during space missions
NASA is working towards sending humans to Mars by 2030. If all goes according to plan, the flight crew's return trip to the red planet will take about two-and-half years.
The study found that 'conscientiousness' is a key requirement for a crew to achieve its extraterrestrial tasks, outdistancing other potential traits like 'honesty,' 'humility,' 'emotionality,' 'extraversion,' 'openness' and 'agreeableness.'
"Conscientiousness, an individual personality trait, can be thought of as a pooled team-resource,"
Four-week AMADEE-18 analog space mission, which simulated a Mars environment featuring isolated and extreme conditions, the analog astronauts completed surveys assessing team conflict, team performance and stress levels.

Re: Mars analog field simulation in the Dhofar region, Oman.
This topic was created by SpaceNut .... for whatever reason, no one posted a comment.
I tested the link to the report today (early 2025) and it still works.
The expedition was organized by folks from Austria.
The web site seems professionally done, and the evidence I see on the site is that the expedition was well funded and carried out.
I'm wondering if the buildings constructed to simulate a Mars campsite might still be there.
If anyone is curious, here is the link to the site:

To my complete surprise, the web site that SpaceNut found years ago is not only still active, it is reporting on current research...
