Women Pioneers in STEAM Lecture Series: Analog Missions, Real Challenges — Science, Ethics, and the Future of Space Exploration

We continue this lecture series, which aims to celebrate and highlight the inspiring achievements of women in science and technology. On this occasion, through the perspective of the crew members, we will reflect on what it means to prepare for a mission to Mars, what knowledge can be applied on Earth, and how new generations can contribute to a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable space future.

The Hypatia Mars Association is made up of women scientists and aims to be a scientific, outreach, and social driving force for science with a gender perspective in Catalonia. Its three main goals are:

To promote research projects related to Mars.
To carry out science outreach activities.
To highlight female role models in STE(A)M disciplines to inspire vocations, especially among girls and young women.

During the presentation, we will share the experiences of our Hypatia I and II crew members during their analog missions at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah, USA, where life and work on Mars are simulated. These missions allow us to test technologies, develop scientific experiments, and address the human, social, and ethical challenges posed by future Mars exploration.

The lecture can be attended in person at the EETAC Auditorium or watched live on the EETAC YouTube channel.
