Monsaraz will host the first analog mission carried out within a habitat on Portuguese soil. The Monsaraz Mars Analog Mission will take place from 13 to 25 October in the Lago-Alqueva Astronomical Observatory (OLA). Entry into the habitat is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Monday, 13 October, with scientists expected to exit at the same time thirteen days later, on 25 October. INESC TEC is responsible for the scientific and technological leadership of the mission.
