Hjalmar is preparing for his rotational assignment on Utopia, focusing on rover maintenance and habitat systems.
Hjalmar brings a decade of deep-space robotics experience. His rotation schedule provides operational continuity across multiple mission phases.
“We keep the wheels turning — both on the surface and in orbit.”
Eva is right now preparing for the maiden voyage of Utopia en route to Terra Nordica, Mars. After studying for three years, she is excited for the launch in 2067.
Now in her third year of preparation, Eva is undergoing an intensive training program: Mars training, teamwork development, primary and secondary assignment specialization, and emergency duties. This year she will also include a visit to the joint Europa Station, followed by a six-month full simulation at Svalbard.
“If we can farm the cosmos, then there’s no limit to where humanity can call home.”
