Anastasia Stepanova on MoonDAO Live!

Anastasia Stepanova has participated in numerous experiments and projects aimed at better understanding of the effects of space travel on the human body, as well as simulating the conditions of crewed expeditions to the Moon and Mars. Currently she is a PhD candidate in Space Resources at the Colorado School of Mines.

As the first female test subject in the world in a "Dry Immersion" experiment, organized by the Russian Academy of Sciences, Anastasia helped to advance understanding of the female body's adaptive reactions to gravity unloading.

Anastasia was a mission specialist in the SIRIUS19 experiment organized by the Russian Academy of Sciences and NASA. This project simulated the conditions of an expedition to the Moon with isolation of the international crew in a ground-based experimental space station for 120 days.

Anastasia also served as the crew journalist and health and safety officer for the “Mars160” project organized by the Mars Society. Mars160 took place over a period of 80 days at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in southern Utah and 40 days at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) on Devon Island, the world’s largest uninhabited island, located in Canada.

She’s co-authored a book, is an ambassador for charity projects, and was recently named as a Karman Fellow.
