Where students plan and execute analog research missions.
We conduct 2 missions per year at the Inflatable Lunar/Mars Analog Habitat (ILMAH) at the University of North Dakota as well as other locations such as the Mars Desert Research Station or Aquarius Reef Base
About Us
Our Story
We are students and faculty in American Public University System (APUS), and we research and discover new ways to live in space as well as test research to be replicated on future missions to the Moon and Mars.
​
The APUS Analog Research Group (AARG) was developed in October 2020 by APUS students as a program to develop a planning and research staff for space analog missions. It is a subsidiary program to the APUS student chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). The mission of AARG is to maintain a student-managed organization that allows for the collective learning of space expedition research and operations.
​
AARG recently conducted missions at the University of North Dakota's (UND) Inflatable Moon-Mars Analog Habitat (ILMAH) and the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) located near Hanksville, Utah.
