Andreas Mogensen studies geology bound for the Moon in ESA's Pangea Expedition

Andreas - a big fan of adventure expeditions - is looking forward to becoming a competent field scientist: “Any human mission to the Moon will have geology as one of its primary goals. This makes this course very relevant, especially for the next class of ESA astronauts”

Finding and collecting the best lunar samples will be a major task for the next astronauts on the Moon. ESA’s Pangaea training campaign started this week to equip astronauts with a geologist’s eye on the Moon – humanity’s next space destination to help us understand more about our Solar System.

Together with Andreas Mogensen in the Pangea expedition is also NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins and EAC engineer Robin Eccleston. Background lessons are followed by field trips to the Italian Dolomites, the Ries crater in Germany and the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, Spain, to unravel lunar and martian features on Earth.
