Launched last Christmas, the Webb Telescope has finally given us the gift we have all been waiting for. Seeing the first images that have been released by scientists is exciting. It has been about six months since the launch of this instrument - a concentrate of cutting-edge technology and scientific knowledge - and, we can now say, the wait was absolutely worth it.

The EMM virtual workshop was organized on June 6th, 2022. Various members from EuroMoonMars presented their work on technical and physiological aspects of Space sciences.

At the EGU General Assembly in Vienna several members of the EuroMoonMars community had the chance to meet both in person in Vienna, together with 7315 on-site attendees, and online, thanks to the hybrid format of this year.

The EMMPOL missions stem from the collaboration between EuroMoonMars and the Analog Astronaut Training Center in Poland. In 2018, AATC established a laboratory to simulate space environment for scientific experiments focused on space biology and medicine. The facility is located in Rzepiennik, Southern Poland.

The 2022 LICA/EMM expedition took place from 21 February to 5 March 2022 with 10 days spent in high altitude (from 3300 m to 6600 m Ojos del Salado). Experiments were conducted in geophysics, geochemistry, volcanology, microbiology/astrobiology, high altitude health and medicine. A mobile laboratory and diverse instruments were used.

We fly the Moon Gallery Test Flight with Nanoracks to the International Space Station aboard the NG-17 rocket within the framework of a Northrop Grumman Cygnus NG-17 resupply mission on 19 February of 2022, from Wallops Island Virginia. This edition of the gallery 8x8 grid features 1 cm3 cells housing 64 physical artifacts and one engraved AR artwork.

The Webb Telescope gave humanity a great Christmas present on last 25th December, when it successfully completed its launch and the first steps of the mission. It was an epoch-making event that marked the beginning of a new era in the observation of our Universe.
