The habitat and two ramonouts

D-MARS is a human analog mission to the planet Mars, taking place in Makhtesh Ramon in the Negev desert in Israel. D-MARS is an acronym for "Desert Mars Analog Ramon Station" and its crew are known as "ramonauts". Ramon's geological features and aridity are similar to those of Mars.^[1] In addition, the mission takes place in the crater because of its^{[clarification needed]} relative abundance.

Several missions have been carried out since the beginning of 2018, each staffed by six crew.^[1][2] They have performed experiments across many disciplines, including physics, soil studies, microbial studies, psychology, agriculture, water supply and engineering.^[3] Their suits were designed by the Israeli fashion designer Alon Livne.^[1]

It was announced in early 2019 that a three-week simulation event was scheduled for November 2020.^[4]
