Asclepios is a non-profit organisation dedicated to education and science. Once a year, we simulate a space mission to the Moon to provide educational opportunities for students and perform scientific research with our academic partners.
Why do we ask for support? Asclepios is entirely funded by donations and is committed to offering educational and scientific opportunities for free. Our astronaut program selects and trains students for no fee, making it accessible to every student that gets selected. Additionally, the experiments are integrated and performed free of charge for our scientific collaborators. The project is entirely supported by sponsorships, donations and crowdfunding. Thank to you all for making this project a reality!
In 2026, we plan to perform our biggest analogue mission yet! With 10 student analogue astronauts from across the globe, we will simulate a 14 day expedition to the lunar south pole in a cave under the Swiss alps.
Our astronauts are trained by industry professionals on medicine, psychology, space physiology, and human performance. The crew also performs microgravity parabolic flights, extreme environment survival training, medical first response training, and many more training activities!
Your support will help us:
- Provide high-quality training for the astronauts.
- Feed the astronauts with lyophilised food (they get cranky otherwise).
- Rent our lunar base site.
- Organise equipment for our own Mission Control Centre!
And much more!!
This mission is more than a simulation. Your donation helps us advance science, train the next generation of engineers, scientists, and explorers, and promote international collaboration.
Donate today and help us bring Asclepios VI to life. Every contribution counts!
