Hope, ND2L, has been chosen as a crew member of the Mars Desert Research Station’s Crew 266! (https://www.marssociety.org/news/2022...) This mission will take place from October 24-29, 2022, and for the first time ever, there will be an amateur radio component to the mission!

Hope’s dream is to become an astronaut and and to go to the moon and onto Mars. In fact, she aspires to be the first person to make an amateur radio contact from the moon back to the earth. In the meantime, she will activate “Mars” during her analog mission with her ow call sign, ND2L/MARS ANALOG. In this video, she tells us about her planned Amateur Radio operation from the MDRS.

Also, thanks to Icom, Chameleon Antenna, Bioenno Power, LDG Electronics, Messi and Paoloni Coax, and Shack-in-a-Box, Hope will leave the amateur radio station behind so future licensed crew members will have the opportunity to activate the MDRS
on amateur radio!
