“We want to take you to Mars!” – Sophie Gruber, Board Member at Austrian Space Forum at the Wear It Innovation Summit.

In her talk, Sophie spoke about the development and challenges the team has encountered while developing the spacesuit for the AMADEE-18 Mars Simulation which is going to go to Mars in the foreseeable future. Over 20 nations are involved in testing all the possible applications of the Suit on Mars, like checking for life signs, water resources and more.
