RAMON CRATER, Israel, Oct 10 – From the door of the expedition base, a few small steps to the left an autonomous rover passes by.

Here, in the Ramon Crater in the desert of southern Israel, a team of six – five men and one woman – have begun simulating what it will be like to live for about a month on the red planet.

Because for every mistake we make here on earth, we hope we don’t repeat it on Mars,” said Gernot Gromer, director of the Austrian Space Forum.

The Austrian association is running the project together with the Israel Space Agency and local group D-MARS.

“The habitat, right now, is the most complex, the most modern analog research station on this planet,” said Gromer, standing beside the 120 sq meter (1,300 sq feet) structure shaped like two large, connected yurts.
