THE WORLD'S A GLOBAL COLLABORATION

BIGGEST ANALOG
How will we live and work in Space?
Primary goal:
To conduct rigorous science, collaborative
research and develop protocols.
Secondary goal:
Raising awareness via media and
to educate online & in schools.
Individuals will be able to
participate around the globe.

This will be the largest Space analog mission carried out

in history and the only one simulating multiple outposts,
making WBA the first of its kind. This mission will create a
game-changing impact and leave a lasting legacy.

mission.
 Information for Researchers

Each habitat and participating mission will have 6 crew members on average. There will be some
exceptions to this. With at least 12 participating habitats and more being added, we expect a total crew
sample of over 60.

For the majority of habitats, we are able to control the crew’s diet, exercise program and schedule.

Given the right IRBs are in place it will be possible to take biological samples from the crew, such as
blood, saliva and urine. The majority of the participating habitats have fridge/freezers to store samples.

With prior knowledge, it may be possible to have additional equipment present across the habitats for
specific research projects.

Please specify the equipment that would be required for your research when applying via our website

ADDITIONAL SLIDES…
Additional Benefits for Earth & Space

Global natural disasters are increasing in

frequency and severity, so the development of
innovative equipment for better disaster
assessment and aid management is necessary.

Considering the ever growing population of

Earth and the ever decreasing resources
available, self-sufficiency and sustainability
have become important issues.

Analog space habitats and simulations can and

have been addressing the challenges of living
sustainably, with limited resources.
