*Analog astronauts working with us as M.A.R.S., LunAres, or AATC. Each of this person invested private money and time in development of human spaceflight commercial programs. Thank you for sharing your passions and giving us a wonderful feedback and motivation to be better in what we love to do. Ad Astra!*

They act as an incubator for innovative science, where science fiction is transformed into reality. Participants can use their imagination and creativity without limits and use it as a trampoline to jump directly into professional space projects. This is what we observe in AATC. Analog missions motivate students to write publications in relevant scientific journals and popular science media. They bring valuable experience and training dedicated to work in space sector. They are unique for team-building, with independent access and international activity. Analog missions are the most attractive form of the training which we offer. Other types of trainings require good health and coping with various extreme situations.
