1 **Synopsis:** OEWF / KiwiSpace Joint Operations Simulation, a switch of Mission Support between the Dachstein field test, the MDRS Kiwispace mission and their Mission Control Center in Wellington/New Zealand.
2 **Institution (PI):** Kiwispace New Zealand / OeWF (joint operations)
3 **Responsible on-site:** Austria: Gernot Groemer/OeWF; Utah: Haritina Mogosanu/Kiwispace

6
7 Antipodes is an operations experiment, where we assume a loss of communication between the Mission Support Center on “Earth”, whereas a parallel landing party on the other side of Mars will take over the coordination of an ongoing Extra-Vehicular Activity via their habitat, relayed via a satellite in Martian orbit.

10 * Kiwispace crew at the Mars Desert Research Station, Utah
11 * Kiwispace Mission Control Center, Carter Observatory, Wellington/New Zealand
12 * OeWF field team, Dachstein caves, Austria Scenario
13 * After losing the communication to “Earth” (e.g. satellite is out-of-range), a request is sent to the MDRS and/or MCC Wellington to take over operations for an ongoing experiment within the cave. The telemetry data are relayed to MDRS / MCC Wellington for approximately 30 min.

15 In a second step, a similar handover is done, where the Dachstein field OPS coordinates an experiment at the MDRS (either EVA or IVA).
