22		-The GEOS-24 (Geological Exploration and Observation System-2024) experimentfocuses on geologic surveyingat a simulated Martian landing site. Inspired by the Apollo lunar field surveyssimulates the study of theMartian geology, combing classical and advances technologies. AAsand rovers collaboratively survey, with mapping providing a foundation, sampling offering ground truth, and compositional measurements delving into the detailed characteristics of Martian rocks and terrain. This experiment comprises mapping, sampling, andcompositional measurements as integral components.

24		-Geomapping:Pre-Mission: Geomapping establishesa preliminary geological mapthroughorbital remote sensing, creating large-scale maps, incorporating terrain hazards, and providing a guide for subsequent activities. These maps serve as guides for Analog Astronauts and rovers, outlining optimised transects and key sampling locations based on remote sensing observations. Syn-Mission Operation: During the mission, AAs contribute to refining the geological map using real-time data from drones, rovers, and their own observations, ensuring adaptability to the dynamic Martian landscape. Post-Mission Output:The final cartographic output synthesizes the spatial distribution of scientific observations

26		-Geosampling:AAs and rovers undertake rock and terrain sampling along predefined transects outlined on base maps provided by RSSand FPfor EVAs. Geosampling involves collecting rock and soil samplesto understand the history and composition of the Martian surfaceas well as the sequence of events and mineralogy. Some of the samples return to the simulated Martian habitat, while others are earmarked for more advanced laboratory analyses.

28		-GeoSpectro (IR and RAMAN):In-situ and In-habitat compositional sample analysisoffer initial insights into the mineralogy and geochemistry. IR (Infrared): An Infrared (IR) spectrometer is mountedon the rover, enhancing the GeoSpectro phase, enablingthe real-time analysis of the mineral composition of surface materials, without the need for physical sample collection. RAMAN: In habitat identification and characterization ofthe chemical composition of samples adds a layer of detail to the understanding of Martian materials.
