The Mars Society is pleased to announce the launch of the Journal of Space Analog Research (JSAR), a groundbreaking publication aimed at showcasing the latest advancements in analog research from around the globe. As a leader in analog research for over two decades, The Mars Society recognizes the need for a dedicated platform to highlight the significant contributions and innovations emerging from this field.
JSAR will feature invited and peer-reviewed papers covering a wide range of topics, including the legacy of The Mars Society’s Mars Analog Research Station Project, crew research at the MDRS – Mars Desert Research Station in Utah and the FMARS – Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station in Canada, the Mars 160 project, and research conducted at other analog sites around the world.
In addition to prospective research papers to undergo the peer-review process, we invite contributors to submit artist’s works, essays, op-ed pieces, and short information pieces related to analog research and analog astronauts. The Mars Society is committed to providing a diverse and inclusive platform that welcomes contributions from researchers across all disciplines.
To submit a proposal, please contact our editorial team, at jsar@marssociety.org with a brief summary of your proposed work. Invited authors will be credited accordingly, and copyright will remain with the authors. The journal’s editorial team aims to respond to all proposals within one week.
The Mars Society is excited to embark on this journey of exploration and discovery with the Journal of Space Analog Research, and we look forward to sharing the groundbreaking research and insights that emerge from this initiative. Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as we prepare to launch this exciting new publication!
