Mars laboratory

The Mars Laboratory of the University of Basel is a specialized research and teaching facility in Witterswil that recreates a Mars-like environment for scientific and educational purposes. It has an artificial Martian landscape as well as geological Mars analog samples to support robotic mission simulations and imaging exercises. Researchers use the Mars Lab to test instruments such as high-resolution rover cameras and to train students in the planning and execution of aspects of planetary surface exploration. It is integrated into the university's Planetary Surface Exploration course and supports preparation for missions such as ESA's ExoMars.

Imaging Lab

The Imaging Lab provides modern methods for the acquisition, analysis, and processing of image and remote sensing data. Using RPAV systems and specialised imaging technologies, high resolution aerial and satellite data are collected for research and applied projects. These data provide an important basis for environmental analyses, geomonitoring, and land cover mapping. The Imaging Lab supports projects from data acquisition through to evaluation and thus makes a central contribution to research and teaching.
