To all my interested followers: I have found that the twitter format doesn't match my posting style too well, so I'm moving my online presence to instagram. Follow me there at _astro_wild_ if you're interested in further posts about my life as an analog astronaut. Seeya there!

The data coming from Perseverance are amazing, but I'm really excited for the trial flights of Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter. We'll be exploring the interaction between Analog Astronauts and airborne drones in our upcoming simulation, #AMADEE20. #ExploringTomorrow

@AntonAhlback Thanks! It took something like three hours, but I was not hurrying.

Thought I might share something not space related. I built myself a snow shelter (specifically a quinzhee) to spend the night in the mountains. It's hard work, but the solitude, the serene quiet night, the clear starry sky, and the not freezing to death are totally worth it.

Unfortunately the mission is postponed one year, but we still had a successful training weekend. Got to know the rover up close, and had a chance to practice with a smaller version.

#AMADEE20 experiment teams Exoscot 🇦🇹 & Merop @ISR_Lisboa are cooperating together with the rovers. The Husky - veteran of #AMADEE18 - is now controlled by the Merop force feedback device 😍 #simulateMars

Another packed weekend of preparations to #SimulateMars. It included psych training, hands on practice with the drone hardware, and food tastings of meals developed by dieticians. Also suited fellow crew member Joao. It's getting smoother every time.

Preparing to #SimulateMars at our first dress rehearsal weekend. Mission Support Center is taking shape and we got a closer look at experiment procedures and hardware. Inigo here trying out rover controls haptic feedback. Also learned how to take some bio samples. For science!

Getting excited about the mission based on all these cool experiments!

#AMADEE20 science ⚛️ in full swing this weekend 😀 All principal investigators with their teams are showing their experiment hardware & walk us through the procedures. Important step to ensure experiment can be done by analog astronauts during #simulateMars in Israel. 🔴🚀

I'm going to Marsrael! Today it became official that I was selected to be part of the crew. Looking forward to working with this amazing team.

CGTN did a cool special about the OEWF and analog astronauts. Still trying to figure out what it means to "act natural" in front of a TV camera. Oh well, it only broadcast in about 270 countries anyway. newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-01-1…

Excited to be at the Analog Astronaut graduation at the European Mars Conference in London. We ended with the regolith ceremony, where we swallowed a mixture of Mars and moon simulant and earth dirt (washed down with water). No turning back now!

I had to wait till the last slot at our final training weekend, but the wait and the work was worth it. My chance in the suit, practicing my skills during an EVA. Made me forget about our upcoming six hour final exam. #oewf

@oewf Nobody wants to hear that. I will spare you the pain.

My turn with the training gloves for the spacesuit simulator. There are 3 layers, making fine motor skills practice a must for successful operations. Household chores... not too hard. Origami... surprisingly decent. Violin... hopeless. #oewf
