Arctic Mars Analog Svalbard Expedition (AMASE) usesMars analog sites onSvalbard for testing of science questions and payload instruments onboardMars missions. AMASE has arranged annual expeditions on Svalbard since 2003 and is run by Vestfonna Geophysical AS and funded by the Norwegian Space Centre,ESA andNASA.
Payload instruments CheMin and SAM onboard NASA'sCuriosity rover were deployed on AMASE in 2006–2011. Field deployment of payload instruments onboard ESA'sExoMars rover has been ongoing since 2007.
In 2007 ESA organized a competition, won by a student fromTechnical University of Denmark, which allowed the winner to carry out her own experiment during the expedition as well as assist in other experiments and activities.[1][2]
