2.1 | 1 | //**Aims of the Dachstein field test**// |
| 2 | Martian caves are considered one of the hotspots for astrobiology on the planet. Besides studying contamination vectors during human missions, the Austrian Space Forum is investigating operational issues related to (sub)surface operations in a Mars analog environment. After preparatory cave tests we now increased the complexity and fidelity of the tests by including external experiments (e.g. robotic rovers) and expanding the support infrastructure like communication from within the cave to a rudimentary Mission Support Center and international partners. | ||

| 4 | Preparing for a large OeWF field mission in February 2013 in Northern Africa, the Dachstein test was ... | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | * a full systems check-out for the spacesuit simulator Aouda.X in its most recent configuration, | ||
| 7 | * an opportunity for external teams to study equipment behaviour involving the simultaneous usage of different instruments with the option of a human-in-the-loop, | ||
| 8 | * a platform for performing ground validations and terrain tests for experiments, including rovers and study concepts of enhancing the situational awareness of remote support teams. | ||

| |
2.1 | 11 | |
| 12 | * studying the Dachstein caves as a model region for Martian caves and extreme life, | ||
| 13 | * serving as a platform for outreach | ||
