Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the research done during the week-long APICES (Astroland Project Inside Cavesfor Earth-based Exploration of Space) mission, organised by ICEE.Space, at the Ares Station of the AstrolandInterplanetary Agency in Santander, Spain. This analogue astronaut mission saw a crew of six individuals from a.o.Czechia, North-Macedonia, France, Spain, and the UK, spending just under a week completely in the subsurface of acave in Northern Spain, close to Santander. The research focused mostly on individual human perception, crewcohesion, medical and mental wellbeing of the participants, and operations of remotely-controlled vehicles. Themission took place under Martian simulation conditions, meaning that there was an extended daily period, closer to aMartian Sol, and a 8-minute one-way time delay between MCC and AA Crew. Research project included; 25-hr‘Martian’ day; UV-Laundry; Continuous biomonitoring of the crew; Neurocognitive variance during human-machineinteractions; Emergency Protocols; Environmental perception changes; Group social dynamics changes; IndividualStories of isolation experience; Human-Machine Teaming for Lunar Habitat Inspection; Drone Operations.Keywords: Human spaceflight, analogue astronaut mission, isolation, Mars, subsurface, mental wellbeing.
