Gebrüder Weiss will assist with the transportation of equipment for the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF) as it carries out its 13th simulation of a crewed Mars mission from October 15, 2020 to November 15, 2020.
Four of Gebrüder Weiss’s apprentices will also prepare all the logistics and handle the customs formalities for the transport of sensitive materials from Austria to the testing site in Israel’s Negev desert.
“Our apprentices will be responsible for handling all logistical tasks, customs formalities, and the transport of the mission equipment,” says Armin Ploner, Branch Manager Air & Sea at Gebrüder Weiss in Hall.
Dr. Gernot Grömer, Director of the OeWF says: “Analog research is designed to test concepts, working procedures and equipment to find the weak spots so the actual mission can be realised in a safe manner. There are our two spacesuit simulators as well as highly sensitive equipment for 16 experiments being conducted by our international research partners for the Amadee-20 mission. Two sea freight containers are needed to transport the equipment. We have found a reliable partner in Gebrüder Weiss.”
