How do you prepare for a mission on a different planet? With a simulation mission!

Back in 2018, Team Tumbleweed took part in @oewf_org's AMADEE-18 mission in desert in Oman. The current edition of the Astrobiology magazine goes more in-depth on the details of this fascinating mission. To get more information head to https://home.liebertpub.com/publications/astrobiology/99!

Although we were looking foward to participating in this year's follow-up mission, AMADEE-20, it unfortunately fell flat due to Covid-19 measurements. Instead, the Austrian Space Forum will hold the next Mars simulation mission in Israel in October 2021. We can't wait to be there and are excited about the essential data it will provide on our Mars rover's behaviour!

About half a month ago, NASA released a statement confirming water on our moon. Swipe to read more about what’s behind the headline!

Are there any other space headlines you would like us to take a closer look at? Let us know in the comments!

For more in-depth information, scientists published the results in the journal Nature Astronomy (“Micro cold traps on the Moon” by Hayne et al., “Molecular water detected on the sunlit Moon by SOFIA” by Honnibal et al.).

Stefan has been with us for quite some time now, so we decided a post about him was long due!
Born and raised in Austria, Business Development member Stefan moved to the US on a full sports scholarship to earn his BA in Business Administration, followed by a master's degree in Data Analytics and Business Intelligence last May. Now in San Francisco, Stefan works as a project associate in expansions-consultation for high-growth tech start-ups.

Stefan's academic achieviements aren't the only impressive thing on his resume: Having played competitive soccer for most of his life - at one point even in the Youth Academy for Germany's Bayern München - his passions range from athletics to traveling, chess and good books.

At Team Tumbleweed, his current focus is on finding business cases for earth applications of the Tumbleweed rover, as well as subtechnologies in the software area. What he likes about his work with us? "I'm a dreamer and visionary, the best thing about working on the Team Tumbleweed project is being surrounded by like-minded individuals who are striving for greatness."

How do you think the universe will end?
Although it may have the least exciting name out of the four, our final scenario goes deeper into the complex world of quantum physics than any of the other theories. Swipe to learn how instabilities in the universe might lead to its eventual demise!
