Kristine Atienza: The First Filipino Analog Astronaut At Hi-Seas

Épisode 1

jeudi 30 octobre 2025 • Durée 41:33

What will astronauts actually eat, and what can Mars menus teach us about feeding people on Earth? Yuki talks with Kristine Jane Atienza, public health nutritionist, founder of the Space Nutrition Network, and the first Filipino analog astronaut, about living and working at HI-SEAS, balancing calories, protein, and morale, and why cultural food identity (yes, adobo and rice!) belongs in space. Kristine also shares her path to NASTAR suborbital training, plans to help launch the first Space Food & Nutrition Lab at the Philippine Space Agency, and how her side project turning Philippine constellations into sound connects science, heritage, and hope.

Dennis Miller: Chief of Operations For The APUS Analog Research Group At ILMAH and SAM

Épisode 2

dimanche 2 novembre 2025 • Durée 36:58

Dennis Miller embodies purpose, precision, and passion, on Earth and in analog space. As Chief of Operations and Flight Director for the APUS Analog Research Group, Dennis has led student teams through Mars-style simulations, drawing on two decades in the U.S. Marine Corps and his current work supporting NASA procurement at Goddard. In this episode, Dennis traces his unlikely path from F-18 avionics and hospital respirator repair to multimillion-dollar reconstruction programs in Iraq, and eventually to mission planning for high-fidelity analogs. We unpack his “intent over instructions” approach, how to build schedules with buffers, and what real risk management looks like when suit docking fails and emotions run high. Plus: favorite experiments (spirulina, mobility rigs, rescue sleds), how ILMAH and SAM differ, and why future mission controllers should experience analogs firsthand.

Hanna Harutyunyan: The First Armenian Analog Astronaut at ARMASH, AATC, And LunAres

Épisode 3

mardi 4 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:05:06

Meet Hanna, the first Armenian analog astronaut and a robotics engineering student charting her own course into space. We trace her leap from Buzz Lightyear–sparked curiosity to real-world missions: ground operations support on AMADEE-24 at ARMASH (Armenia), astronaut on the all-female LOTOS mission at the Analog Astronaut Training Center (Poland), and crew member on Terra Nova at LunAres (Poland) simulating Axiom-4. Hanna unpacks what it means to represent Armenia, how analog missions build resilient teams, and why soft-skills and cognitive training matter as much as hardware. It’s a fast, inspiring look at persistence, purpose, and finding your place in the global space community.

Laura Reiske: Chief of Staff For The APUS Analog Research Group At SAM

Épisode 4

jeudi 6 novembre 2025 • Durée 37:46

In this episode, we head to Homer, Alaska, where the northern lights glow and alpacas roam, to meet Laura Reiske: middle school math teacher, lifelong space nerd, and Chief of Staff for the APUS Analog Research Group. Laura shares how a love for black holes and clear Alaskan skies led her back to space, from NASA’s L’SPACE Mission Concept Academy (Deputy PM for Team SIGMA) to pursuing a master’s in Space Studies.

We dive into her first crewed analog at SAM in Arizona, where she commanded Team Red through a five-day isolation: tracking water, growing spirulina, sealing the habitat in full pressurization mode, and navigating a panic attack before her first EVA with crew-centered breathing techniques. Leadership, teaching, teamwork, and wonder, all in one orbit.

Dr. Laura Thomas: Chartered Psychologist Specializing in Human Performance at the Extremes

Épisode 7

mardi 16 décembre 2025 • Durée 33:27

In this episode of The Airlock Module Podcast, Yuki Nishimura sits down with Dr. Laura Thomas, Chartered Psychologist, space psychology researcher, and extreme-environment explorer. Laura shares her journey from clinical psychology in the UK to analog space missions and polar expeditions, including her role as Crew Psychological Officer for Mars Medics 5 in the Mojave Desert, researcher on the B.I.G. North Pole ski expedition, and Health & Safety Officer at the Mars Society’s Devon Island analog habitat.

Together, they explore what prolonged isolation, confinement, and cumulative stress do to the human mind, from subtle behavioral shifts to breaking points that affect even the most resilient individuals.

The conversation also dives into Laura’s published paper on virtual reality countermeasures for long-duration spaceflight, examining how VR could support psychological wellbeing, deliver asynchronous therapy, and foster connection when Earth feels impossibly far away. Along the way, Laura recounts unforgettable field moments, including a tense encounter with a possible polar bear, and reflects on what analog missions can teach us about resilience, vulnerability, and human adaptability both in space and here on Earth.

Marta Rossi: Commander at LunAres M7

Épisode 6

jeudi 11 décembre 2025 • Durée 35:47

What happens when you put an architect in charge of a lunar habitat, then lock the doors for two weeks?

In this episode of The Airlock Module Podcast, host Yuki Nishimura sits down with Marta Rossi, a PhD student in architecture specializing in space architecture at Politecnico di Torino and mission commander of the LunAres M7 analog mission in Poland. Marta shares how a simple master’s thesis decision turned into a lifelong path at the intersection of architecture and space, and why she describes architecture as “an opening in the possible.”

From inside a bunker-turned-lunar station, Marta led a four-person crew through 14 days of full isolation while running two research projects: one tracking spatial behavior and crew movement in confined environments, and another using virtual reality tools to bring analog astronauts directly into the lunar habitat design loop. She walks us through the layout of LunAres M7, from the towering atrium that feels like “a breath of fresh air” to the daily rhythms of med checks, EVAs, shared meals, surveys, and pancakes with freeze-dried fruit.

We also explore:

How space architecture can help humans not just work, but live and thrive off-world
Why layout, flow, and dedicated leisure space matter for mental health in isolation
The tension between mass, safety, cost, and livability in future Moon and Mars habitats
Who should be designing space habitats, and why the answer lies in collaboration, not a single discipline
Marta’s honest take on the challenges and deep personal growth that come with analog missions

If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to live inside your own research, or you’re on the fence about applying for an analog mission, this conversation might be the nudge that sends you through the airlock.
