The first of these centers is located in Mitzpe Ramon, at the heart of the Negev
desert. With its Martian-like terrain, extreme arid climate, and remote setting,
the site offers ideal conditions for simulating off-world environments. It also
builds on a growing ecosystem of local space activity, amplifying existing
research and infrastructure.
A Mars-inspired lab simulator merging precision agriculture, academic research, and immersive tourism.
Developed in partnership with Ramon Winery, it’s where science and culture meet to explore sustainable cultivation in extreme environments.
D-MARS (Desert Mars Analog Ramon Station) is a Mars analog research facility simulating crewed missions.
It offers a controlled environment for testing space technologies, life-support systems, and mission protocols for fieldwork and training.
A testing ground for robotics, autonomy, and advanced simulations. Built with NVIDIA technologies, it supports deep-tech startups developing dual-value systems for planetary exploration and Earth-based industries, using real-world terrain and mission-grade datasets.
