Vandenberg Officer Peruses Space Passion

2nd Lt. Allaire Morgan, 30th Digital Transformation Office integration lead, poses for a photo during her time at the Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog & Simulation program. The HI-SEAS program introduces applicants to an isolated Mars or moon-like landscape on Hawai’i, tasked with various challenges like extreme isolation in a self-sustaining habitat, dealing with space-like communications that include delays and limits to accessible content, conducting geological surveys and complex science experiments under the stress of analog crew schedules, and simulating procedures like airlock entrances that reflect the environmental challenges of living in space. Morgan utilizes this experience as a U.S. Space Force officer to influence our understanding of human behavior in otherworldly conditions. (Courtesy photo)
