About our event

In Oct 2025, we will carry out the largest Space simulation mission of it’s kind:

1 mission, multiple habitats, collaborative research.

To answer the question, “how will we live and work in Space as a community?”

What is an Analog?

Preparing for Space by simulating missions on Earth

Analogous (comparable) to a real space mission

We tackle challenges that may occur in space by simulating them in unique locations on Earth.

Uniting the World’s Space Analogs

  1. We are supporting and raising awareness for new and existing analog’s globally.

  2. We are creating a global education program that aims to target underserved communities.

  3. We are collecting data from the largest and most diverse set of analog astronauts in history. Making this data available as a resource for researchers worldwide.

What is the WBA?

  • Primary goal: To conduct rigorous science, collaborative research and develop protocols.
  • Secondary goal: Raising awareness via media and to educate online & in schools.

  • Habitats will be split between Moon based and Mars based.

  • This will be the largest Space analog mission carried out in history and the only one simulating multiple outposts, making WBA the first of its kind.

Why are we doing the WBA?

  • Raise awareness about analogs.

  • Gather information about existing missions and habitats, so that researchers, gov agencies and others understand the fidelity and capabilities of each habitat as a research platform.

  • Applying research standards makes the data collected more useful to space agencies and researchers.

  • Provide a global research platform for the first time.

  • Develop protocols and professionalise the industry.

  • To assist up and coming habitats/missions, so more countries can be involved.

  • To engage and collaborate as a community and push the boundaries of what we can achieve together.

  • Open better communication lines between active players.

  • Minimise duplicate research.

  • Highlight the potential of the habitats and analog missions.

Who is part of the WBA?

  • Advance habitats

  • Independent habitats

  • MICO Vienna

  • 60+ analog astronaut crew candidates

  • Education/outreach - the general public

  • Researchers

  • 100+ volunteers

Sponsorship Opportunities

The space industry is on its way to $1 trillion in revenue by 2040.

Community Impact
By sponsoring this event, your brand will contribute to a historical mission that aims to conduct research into human spaceflight, raise awareness about the space simulation missions and create a global impact by educating people who would normally be unaware that such mission exist. Our leadership team is diverse and our founder/director is a women of colour. We aim to provide access to these types of missions to diverse communities.This demonstrates your commitment to meaningful causes and community engagement.

Brand Visibility
Your brand will gain exposure to a targeted audience of industry leaders, professionals and enthusiasts through a wide-reaching marketing campaign, including social media, email newsletters, local partnerships, and mission recognition.

Access to a Niche Audience
We attract a growing, engaged audience of space professionals, enthusiasts and industry leaders, giving you the chance to stand out in a specialized market.

Opportunity to Influence
You will have access to founders, CEOs, governement reps, space agency reps, commercial space indstry members (including Blue Origin), scientist, engineers, artists, filmakers, producers and leaders.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Supporting a cause-driven event aligns with your CSR initiatives and positions your company as a socially responsible and community-oriented organization.

Marketing Opportunities
Sponsorship packages include logo placement on event materials, social media shoutouts, on-site booths, and more, ensuring maximum return on investment for your support.

Early Entry into a Growing Industry
The commercial space industry continues to grow and analog space simulation missions will be the gateway for not only research but also space tourism. This is a very early chance to get into a unique and young sector that had enourmous future potential. Global space tourism market size was valued at $695 million USD in 2022 and the expected CAGR is 40% from 2023 to 2030.

“I often get asked, where did the idea for The World’s Biggest Analog come from. In 2021 I ran the first analog astronaut conference. It was virtual and it was successful, so I immediately started working on the next in person conference that now happens each year in Arizona. Whilst I learned more about our community and the good research that is conducted at analogs, it was also clear that there was very little awareness about these space simulations. I myself had only just discovered them in 2020.

So I wanted to do something BIG. Something to raise awareness and to show people what the analogs could achieve if we all worked together.

At the 2022 in person conference, I posed the question. “Imagine you have no constraints, money is no issue, what type of analog mission would you want to run”. I got a variety of responses, some very creative ones. The one theme that stood out was a networked mission. Which got me thinking…in the not too distant future, there will be a permanent human presence in Space. And this will not just be government agencies, but other organisations as well, from all over the world. How will they live and work together in the hostile environment of Space? Much like currently in Antarctica, several nations cooperate and collaborate in that harsh environment. 

So that’s where the idea of having a networked analog mission simultaneously across the globe was born from. At the heart of this was to conduct collaborative research, develop protocols and do outreach.

After that it was a matter of sharing this vision, building a team of volunteers and getting all the analogs on board.

When humanity goes into Space, we take all our problems with us. 

This is our opportunity to build something better!”
