About

A. Frigeri is a researcher specializing in planetary science, Mars analog missions, and subsurface geophysical exploration, with particular expertise in bridging laboratory analysis and field simulation methodologies. Frigeri's work has made notable contributions to the AMADEE-18 Mars analog mission, an ambitious international initiative conducted in February 2018 in Oman's Dhofar region, involving cooperation across 25 nations under the Austrian Space Forum. This large-scale human-robotic expedition simulation provided a critical testbed for technologies and procedures relevant to future Mars exploration. Among Frigeri's most recognized contributions is the laboratory analysis of samples returned from AMADEE-18, which has garnered 13 citations, alongside significant involvement in the ScanMars subsurface radar sounding experiment, a study exploring ground-penetrating radar techniques in Mars-like terrain that has accumulated 10 citations. Additionally, Frigeri contributed to research examining remote science coordination and execution during simulated planetary surface missions, underscoring a broad engagement across mission planning, instrumentation, and scientific operations. Collectively, Frigeri's research advances our understanding of how analog environments on Earth can inform the design and execution of future crewed and robotic missions to Mars, making their work an important reference point for planetary scientists and mission planners alike.
