MSC Banner Diaries From Analog Mars

In September of 2021, MSC Mars Engineering Developer Jin Sing Sia went on the journey of a lifetime. After numerous delays due to the global pandemic, he found his way into the desert in pursuit of a dream.

As a member of Mars Desert Research Station crew 228, Jin would spend 2 weeks in a space analog environment in pursuit of knowledge and experience that will guide him (and all of us) on the path to Mars. By sharing a series of diary entries, Jin brought us along on this thrilling and sometimes difficult voyage.
