Abstract

The present abstract describes the novel methods introduced, scientific and artistic experiments con-ducted and lessons learnt by the author during her participation as commander-in-Training during the EMMIHS-III lunar analogue campaign, which took place from 18th January-1st February, 2020. The crew consisted of 6 members (3 males and 3 females, all under the age of 32) and focused on analogue habitat simulation, scientific research on robotics and lava-cave exploration techniques, art and outreach. The EMMIHS campaigns are a collaboration between the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG)'s EuroMoonMars initiative, the International Moonbase Alliance (IMA) and HI-SEAS. ILEWG is a public forum sponsored by the world's space agencies (including NASA and ESA) to support international cooperation towards the exploration and utilization of the Moon. Its EuroMoonMars ini-tiative comprises of field campaigns in Moon-Mars analogue environments such as at HI-SEAS (Hawai'I Space Exploration Analog and Simulation), a Habitat owned by IMA-founder Henk Rogers, located on an isolated Moon/Mars-like site on the Northern slope of the Mauna Loa Volcano (Hawai'i, USA) at approximately 8200 feet above sea level, and used regularly since 2018 for simulating hi-fidelity space missions. Dr Michaela Musilova is the Director of HI-SEAS and takes part in missions as a Crew Comman-der, Flights Director or CAPCOM. The author trained under Dr Musilova as crew-commander and was proactive in devising novel techniques for water consumption and a set of emergency rule for the habitat. Thanks to these methods, the crew has the distinction of being the most water-effcient HI-SEAS crew till date (using less than 3.
