bounding on the red planet, a captivating dream that s long mesmerised us. but this isn t mars. this is the israeli desert. we have researchers from 25 nations gathering here to simulate the first human mission on mars, so we have a carefully selected crew of six analogue astronauts from various countries who are mimicking the first steps of our society on the red planet. for the next month, the ramon crater, selected for its unique geological features, will be centre stage for research into human mars missions. a series of experiments in fields ranging from biology to geology will be undertaken by the crew, along with a team of engineers who will be looking at improving autonomous navigation on a planet where gps isn t an option. for six people, working in a tight space under a lot of pressure to do a lot of tasks, there are bound to be challenges, but i trust my crew that we are able to overcome these challenges. we have the motto of fail fast, i fail cheap and have a steep learning
we make here on earth, - we hopefully don t repeat it on mars because we ve done it before. - there is behind this earthly simulation mission believes the people who will one day take this historic first steps on mars are already born, a dream inching closer to reality. now it s time for a look at the weather. the weather is going to be relatively kind to most of us over the next few days. it is going to be quite cloudy but it s not going to be too cold. in fact, where the sun comes out, temperatures could be pretty decent, at least over the next couple of days or so, but a fair amount of cloud. this is the low pressure out of the atlantic at this low pressure has actually been throwing a lot of cloud into northern and north western parts of the uk, but overall the pressure is high across the country so the clouds aren t too thick, particularly across the south east

mars, and the dream of human exploration, rovers like nasa s perseverance and its ingenuity helicopter have offered a new insight into the red banner s surface, reigniting our fascination but there is another mission under way, a little closer to home that may also prove bushel or getting humans to mars and beyond, as tanya dent rios reports. bounding on the red planet, a captivating dream that has long mesmerised us, but this is not mars. this is the israeli desert. we have researchers from 25 nations gathering here to simulate the first human mission on mars, so we have a carefully selected crew of six astronauts from various countries, who are mimicking our first steps of society on the red planet. for the next month, the ramon crater, selected for its unique geological features, will be centre stage for research into human mars missions.
