In view of this scenario, a proposed innovative methodology for the continuity of Habitat Marte Space Analog Station�s operations was virtual missions. Aiming at providing a professional space experience, the participants become involved in activities such as mission planning, including routines scheduling process, and training on topics related to management of habitats, food production, sanitation (water supply, sewage and waste), energy and education. After virtual missions success, participants were invited to collaborate in both in-person and remote activities related to the Habitat Marte protocols and research themes that associate space and sustainability. Habitat Marte operates in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in the Brazilian semiarid region, and is one of the most innovative projects in stimulating the development of skills in the Brazilian aerospace sector. During the Hybrid Space Analog (HSA) mission type, a trained and experienced team was established for virtual support in the main involved activities and tasks presented during the in-person mission occurrence. On the hybrid moments, the participants at the station meet with the remote crew to meet demands that were presented as tasks and challenges during the mission. Some of the protocols for collecting local data in hybrid missions are: initial survey; psychological protocol; greenhouse monitoring; and final survey. These activities have generated a large volume of data, which has allowed us to provide a variety of studies and publications. With that, face-to-face routines at Habitat Marte are carried out to provide knowledge on operational and research activities while collaborating on technological and operational processes that will support future missions on Moon and Mars.application/pdfengSpace explorationMission controlAnalog stationRemote supportPresentation
