as we say there about never giving up every weekend on dw, the the rod province in armenia. this is where the austrian space for him is simulating what life might one day be like on the red planet. mars. the lawyers, the boss looks almost assume this is the newest ma simulation station, fixed where a team of 6 i'm a little guster and also spent the month doing things that people could be doing on mos in 20 to 30 years. so this is kind of like a sneak peak into the future. the preview of the typical i'm an international team of analog astronauts is testing newly developed equipment

. their job is to find any possible faults in the devices that could prove fatal in space. because i think it's just, i think it's time for us humans to head to moss malls is the place of longing for us. cool. one die exhibit that will even be cities on mars. i'm sure they do. but so what we're doing here is like taking a very 1st baby steps katie, that will teach us how to crawl. i'm just behind one that you got it before the health of all the scientists are doing everything in their power to ensure humanities, journey to mars does not become a suicide mission. the . this is ins brooks commercial district where the austrian space for him is located in the astro physicist, again,

not dilemma is leading preparations for the private research institutions. next, tomorrow's mission statement. we'll take the elements off and go through each of the census, will check the cables and see if we can improve the routine for best. so can you get home until for me? they are looking for ways to expand the space suit simulator with more functions. listen, but it's basically like a wearable space. the space ship is able to measure a bunch of things. and starting with the astronaut ccg, i would have could also do simple things. for example, where is can feed, drink, co go to the bathrooms. if there's one thing you want to avoid, it's sneezing inside of your space suits. i thought it'd be a mess this up and that's one that's a bit of fabric inside. so you can rockdale knows on it to come because when you're wearing a space to, to call and structural nose, it's little things like this but on really high tech. but you wouldn't realize how much easier, like and make the lives of. i'm a little gastro knowledge continue or out in the field time. scientists have been

optimizing this space suit for over 10 years. now the suits are to be fitted with sensors, which on the upcoming analog mission will measure how stressful missions are for the astronaut swearing them. these a, how much success space to simulate to is one of the kind, you know, one of you or the it is by far the best simulation to we have to one they'd be able to simulate the strain on people living. i'm working on mas hobbits, and they've been down and cut them ever since cannot look through a telescope. as a child, he's been yearning to visit the stars on his path to fulfill that dream, he became an analog astronaut. that is an astronaut, who stays on earth to conduct research on space, travel begin to from the also index. that sounds like the classic we believe the 1st humans will actually land on the read comments in the next 20 to 30 years in advance. this means as a 1st person to set foot on moss has already been bulky, poor you could cite with the generation of ship building of some of the who was

this equipment. diesel enabled the most complex and dangerous to an ever i've done, which will lead us to a new well movie some of the other day. and just, i guess, to annoying that feeling good. this is called an exoskeleton. it's meant to simulate the same atmosphere rec pressure. is that astronaut would experience on mars. right. i lift my hand to me. that's the neutral site technique. so my hand is lowering back down to so now when i make a fist, i need a bit more strength and i usually would, and this is how we are able to simulate the exact physiological stress problems. the display sink will be exposed to in moses atlas van. ever since billionaire is like a lawn mosque, started investing in rockets and exploiting space as a commercial market. the sector has been booming. europe has also seen the emergence of several start ups eager to join in on the new gold rush in space. the

we're on our way to a former military base. stefan blue shang is the co founder and chief operating officer of rocket factory ox board. he's currently working on a rocket that will one day bring satellites into orbit to save the money for a certified test facility. they rented an old ammunition bunker. the rock in factory prides itself and its ability to improvise. what did you guys do with this company? what this company reveals, yeah, it was results. so the 1st one i'm on the helicopter and inside the f on waiting in guns, we sticking test. today, we're running a very important test. this test will show us the turbo pump has the performance that we need. if it does, engine died on the rock, it won't reach orbit,

but the hard key to make it all between. let's go, let's go and run it. an old helicopter engine is powering the pump. they hope that one day their rocket will under cut all competitors in terms of pricing to create an incredible sound, right? there's a risk of explosion. so everybody has to leave on the straps. steph, on can tell that the pump is performing the way it should simply by the sound. it makes the good test last day of the test went very well. what did they put in? that was a good investment. today we can gather data. people compare the turbo pump will improve the engine will improve the we're getting closer to the point where we'll be able to reach orbits and in order to feed the rocket factory osburg is based 30

kilometers away. stefan pollution co found that it with a partner in 2018. when he was 33, they brought together 250 experts from 40 nations to develop a rocket that they hope to launch in the summer. the business is financed with the venture capital of investors and dedicated to keeping costs low the u. m. c. i think there are many technical components that are all quite unique. but what we see here is a beer tank just like you'd find in a brewery. it's a beer tank in outer space. he says he got the idea from an a i source. otherwise, his engineers typically prefer using components from the automotive industry or made by a 3 d printer. before founding his company, stefan blue shank study to aerospace engineering in austin. really yes. and spent

10 years working in the field got his associates took. this is the heart of it all . the rocket engine. it's a miracle of modern day physics that this is even possible and i've seen the fact that space travel even works is an absolute miracle. nobody would have thought that was possible cause many mathematicians said it wasn't even possible. god's laws wouldn't permit space travel. and then a little more than 60 years ago, for the russians 1st prove to us that we can indeed gets satellites up into orbit even pets. and after that, and space travel exploded to an office depot. and fedex to the, as his father was an engineer. he built helicopters for stefan. wanted to go higher and selected the top discipline in the field of engineering. nothing is more difficult than building rockets. most tech enthusiast degree. it is the noblest pursuit. to view continents, i will reach outer space and then we'll keep going with the of us no matter how

small the problem ability will find a way to venture forth to learn more find to answer life. big questions back is why do we exist? why are we here in these? yes, steph, i'm like spending his evening's tinkering at his work bench and his garage, the didn't he didn't talk to you. so i'm the one that i've seen that and when he does with my leave, i'm here every day until midnight. so that he is without it, my life would fall apart and without this work bench i wouldn't be able to lead my life. i really need to do things like this. and i want to invest as much time as possible, advancing something that's going to bring. he's convinced that new technologies will improve our life on earth during the day and he builds rockets. and at night

he revolutionize his car engines. down these more have any. i've been working on this engine for a long time. i've been building it for nearly 10 years now, but it sounds crazy. it's been and now i've reached the point where i could show for the 1st time that it actually works as well to it's an engine without any emissions, a combustion engine with rocket technology. our company build rockets like car insurance, home build cars like rockets below, keith and emissions free combustion engine making the seemingly impossible possible on earth as well as in the habits. stefan is sure that human kind will become an intergalactic species if it's not safe for them to be, of course, it's crucial that humans manage to set up a base somewhere on a different planet. one that is constantly inhabited on that's the 1st step. this is whether mars or the moon there are plenty of possible destination associated with mars. definitely makes

a lot of sense. yes. if you send over 3000 kilometers away in the northern most reaches of sweden near the arctic circle. stefan blue shank is on his way to spaceport s range. up here where there are more reindeer than people. the rocket factory is testing its rocket engines, under realistic conditions, the site leads in conducting really big tests here for over 3 years on the test. and so we do here are truly the biggest issue and, and the history of this test site. also the most dangerous that i've ever been run you might take him to europe's 1st mainland orbital space port is tucked away in sweden's icey forests. this is where rocket factory has rented a test fields and they're here to examine

a helix engine developed an ox borg today. they're conducting a so called hot fire test, meaning the engine will be ignited just like during the regular launch, and then tested for its in durance. because i'm most interested in what was done and how. i want to see all the modifications made with my own eyes, so that we can start today's test with a clear conscience. some tests can come on board. so everything is pretty much ready for the test. i just have to run a few test sequences because it's very cold. i it causes this good test for the document chief. so yeah, most today's test can't go wrong. it needs to be concluded successfully. but what we see here is the result of what we've built over 5 years of why we have engine number 2 and engine number 3. most of the 3rd engine we've ever built in the front positions system to that means. so if anything goes wrong, then it's 5 years of work down the drain, sticky martin, right?

if anything goes wrong today, i think i might as well get up there and take a nose, dive down onto the bed or not. the company relies on money from his investors. they are keen to see positive result soon. the toward the evening. the skies above s range space center are closed for air traffic. the helix engine has half a 1000000 horse power. and if the hot fire test goes wrong, it could quickly become a rocket launch. the whole site is on high alert. before starting the engine, everyone has to evacuate the premises. no, it doesn't get any harder than this. you just pricing. doing this in the middle of the night in minus 30 degree celsius, that shows people to the phone, right?

people will be feeling the effects of to day through the next week, and it's not like it will all be over tomorrow. do you live in? i'm in you. well, some are still evacuating. others are performing final system checks. then something unexpected happens. okay, so we can keep going, though i know, right, as a regulator is hating like, but it's not enough. everyone's put it under pressure now pressure that's and yet so, so let's just say that was the final step before we could have gone on a day because of this. one of the cold is test days we've ever experienced the luckily quitting for today. tomorrow we'll get it right. all right, the welcome to the record business, the 5000 kilometers southwards, at the foot of mount auto right in armenia, near the town of our march,

the mars mission of the austrian space for them is about to commence. visitors check ins have already been sent out to armenian staff members are holding down the fort and waving off on bidding get the meanwhile again, our dilemma is on his way to the test site of all places. why did he choose are mania the via visa that we know there were 2 logical structures. hands basically have twins on the red planet. we call them g. a similar us. another reason we came here it again or the 5 to the carefully plan. tomorrow's mission isn't running smoothly just yet. the armenian team did not manage to build up all the infrastructure on time. what are

you doing? i'm not sure what i mean, what are you doing? there's no internet connection, which is a problem. a german australian cohort of students is struggling to communicate with the mars robot. a team from the glass university of technology and a team from the votes. boogie institute for computer science are racing to find solutions that, um, we need to set its something reasonable, a gigabyte one gigabyte, it's not much really too much. it should be right here. but all i can say a real slogan, real step. if establishing communication lines is all ready this hard on earth, what will it be like in space? finally, the rover from god's university starts moving nothing, but we still have a long way to go to morris. but at our university, we value researching the basics. and that means it's also important to test individual components supplement tested. the rover they've developed is meant to explore unfamiliar terrain as

a spirit remotely from their habitat. it's no easy task and if we were to take what we have and what we know now to mosque, that would be very dangerous and probably not very productive from a scientific point to view people. that's why we need to spend time in these most like environments and so we can learn how to best use of resources that it's very exciting. but for now, the research will have to wait a bit longer. habitat that the analog astronauts are supposed to move into a skill unfinished height. as long young head of the armenian space agency says there were unforeseeable delays. now everybody is helping out wherever they can get out. does not want to talk about the emissions. rocky start. yeah, after all, he'd planned everything down to the minute well, summer dealing with the unexpected circumstances. others are already in the middle

of the freight to armenian crew members are hooking up the wireless land cables. i'm interested this past because i'm a drinking engineering and i all main goal is to have my own and fox and facing the street. i think, glenville, or young and we are like still child. we always wants to become notes for notes as we have the passion of exploring everything. and i think that's why we are so interested in. so no, it wouldn't take us on the on also has big plans during the soviet era. armenia was involved in building the sputnik satellite, the 1st of its kind and the 1st mars are over high cope's that this mission will bring fresh momentum to armenia, space industry to make a new be good to them. and when you look at the u haul,

so all the rooms have been bigger. yeah. there was the, i don't know why the link at the end of the day, the class university handed through over over to the space agency. it's a big success. one, the armenian students are excited to be a part of the back in sweden. here, temperatures have risen sharply from minus 30 degrees to minus 15 degrees celsius. it's almost like a spring saw with the freezing temperatures out of the way. the next test surely has to be successful. stuff under the shank is looking for the pressure regulator that was causing problems the day before. jonathan from new zealand is taken care of it. here's the man. so no worries it

and, and normally this, this works well, yes. say this one doesn't work that time then we will have to have about minus 15 months or we need them for today. oh no, no, we're good for some heating bait cable. this is a heating cable that we lined up this morning on. we'll use this heating cable to make sure the whole regulator stays warm on and that all the ceiling gaskets are working. really said that this is why we couldn't test it yesterday. stefan brings the newly insulated pressure regulator to the test site and even installs it himself. he's not leaving anything else up to chance for that looks good. now. get ready to go. ready for this hot fire today. the whole rocket engine was constructed on a shoestring budget. if even one component fails,

the whole thing could go up in flames. and for them, it's an absolutely unique experience to be able to contribute to a project like this one of these. there are very few jobs out there that come with such great motivation as being able to take part in a rocket launch. and the people here are passionate about it. there's nothing more important to them in the control room group leader whole been doing this and issuing final orders try to not leave the room. no, no questions. all right. as everyone says, full concentration, all of the test has begun. the valves are open, the 64310, [000:00:00;00]

the suddenly, everything comes to a halt. another problem the, the goal had been 160 seconds the. so what i saw on the camera is this the few of the sensors the by the guess, i think that's why the fuel consensus of failed the after 20 seconds to control the report at the test space travel is incredibly difficulties easy. everything is always at its limits, and that's why the engineers and we as a team, you have a path to test everything as often as possible to really push things to their

limits. avoiding the test was the security for caution. their monitoring system worked. despite all the forces working upon it, the test rig stayed on the ground. but the goal of 160 seconds of hot fire remains the above the polar lights shine down from the same heights that stefan blushing one day hopes to reach with one of his rockets the end, the business of outer space. moments of soaring highs and deep despair are never too far apart. working here require sheer, endless patience. after all, we didn't learn to fly in a day to get to take big want and these are keep all the technology surrounding rockets is so insanely complicated. we work so close to the limit that each day we

basically approach the boundaries that god or the universe created. and then you realize that these lines can be cross at 15, but you can get it much further than you originally thought. back to the armenian mountains. here the future has begun. even though the habitat still isn't ready to analog, astronauts are getting prepared for their 1st commission. once everything is constructed, the 6 crew members will spend 4 weeks isolated in these rooms. they'll have to wear a space suit any time they exit the habitat part of the day, we're just going to explore the habitat surroundings and see what walking on the surface is like. we'll take some pictures and drive around with the quads. so we can see how well that worked for me. it will be a short 1st test as also qualify for tests. even though they may never reach outer

space themselves, they still feel like part of the greater mission, the been the, the boss, if i have a ton, the real miles mission is launched. this one and i'll probably already be retired. i might be able to say, oh look, i made those screws, you can see the my young colleagues will be in the middle of that career on the kitchen. and i've already built a bridge into the future. i think many of my colleagues feel privileged to have been able to come to me for the okay. i completed the armenia has already filled out over a 1000000 euros for the mars mission. and austria has paid a little under a 1000000. this scene gives a glimpse of just how fascinated human kind is by outer space. the guests here can barely contain their excitement as these 2 silver beings take their 1st steps. in
