Interstellar Performance Labs

Congratulations to one our Stellar candidates Maria Vella. Her ongoing passion, consistency in individual and career development, and dedication to being a life-long learner is admirable.

Will you be at IAC2024 in Milan? We will! Interstellar Performance Labs is packing up our space boots and heading to Milan 🌍✨ We’ll be talking all things analog missions and sharing our latest project on Fostering a Safety Culture in the Analog Astronaut Community. Spoiler alert: it’s all about building a better, safer future for space exploration. Catch us on Tuesday at 1:20 PM at Screen 47 for an interactive presentation. We’ll be showing off a new framework and game-changing ideas for improving safety in analog missions. 👩🏽🚀 Come say hi, nerd out with us, and let’s chat about the future of space! 👉 Want to set up a meeting with our CEO?

🚀 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🚀 This year, an exciting opportunity has come my way: the World's Biggest Analog (WBA). WBA’s mission is to advance human spaceflight by conducting the largest space simulation of its kind—𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵—to answer a vital question: "𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?" I’m thrilled to share that I’m currently in 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝟯 of the selection process. This phase involves a self-learning training provided by Interstellar Performance Labs, which covers critical areas of Analog Missions while promoting personal growth as both an individual and team member. The first task? 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. For me, this mission is about more than testing possibilities or developing new skills for extreme environments—it’s about 𝗽𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. It’s about understanding how we can apply our knowledge to make 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲. Through teamwork, experimentation, and embracing the unknown, I’m eager to learn how we can 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 for the future of space exploration. This mission calls for people from all backgrounds to see space as a reachable frontier—where 𝗱𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, and 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 unlock doors that once seemed impossible. #SpaceExploration #AnalogMission #FutureAstronauts #DiversityInSpace #SpaceSustainability

🚀 Building Team Identity in Space Missions: STAR.WBA Phase 1 🌟 It’s official! Last weekend, Interstellar Performance Labs kicked off Phase 1 of the World's Biggest Analog with our first stellar cohort—look at them shine! 🤩 Right now, these individuals are hard at work in small groups, collaborating on their Team Purpose Statement & Mission Patch Design Project. This first challenge is more than just about cool designs—it’s about representing the unity across global habitats. Habitats and candidates across the globe are all coming together in this phase to foster team cohesion right here on Earth, prepping for future off-world missions. But here’s where it gets fun: you get to help decide which mission patch becomes official! Each group will submit their design, and soon, you’ll have the chance to vote on your favorite patch. This symbol will represent the world’s largest analog mission and showcase the power of collaboration in space exploration. Stay tuned for voting details and your chance to be part of this exciting process! And a huge shoutout to our stellar mentors: Sandra Herrmann, Mason Robbins, MScR, PhD, FRSA, Christina-Ariadni Valagkouti, Jeska C. Clark, and Rosana Sotile. More on them later! #STARWBA #InterstellarPerformanceLabs #iplabs #STARready #WorldsBiggestAnalog #MissionPatch #Teamwork #TeamPurpose #SpaceAnalog #Collaboration #AnalogAstronaut #AstronautTraining #OffWorldReady
