What if you could recreate Mars on Earth? 🚀

Researchers in the lab of Alexandre Rosado @Rosado_AS have built a Planetary Simulation Chamber at KAUST, designed to recreate Mars-like conditions and study how life responds to extreme environments.

The insights could help advance both future space exploration and solutions to challenges here on Earth.

بفضل الله ثم بفضل الفريق العلمي الرائع، أخيرا مشروع محاكاة البيئة الفضائية يرى النور وتُجرى عليه تجارب وتطبيقات لدراسة مدى تأثر الأنظمة الحيوية بعوامل بيئة الجاذبية الصغرى والإشعاعات وعناصر الطقس المختلفة.

شكرا لجهودكم العظيمة 🤍👏🏻
