Hanna Harutyunyan: The First Armenian Analog Astronaut at ARMASH, AATC, And LunAres

Meet Hanna, the first Armenian analog astronaut and a robotics engineering student charting her own course into space. We trace her leap from Buzz Lightyear–sparked curiosity to real-world missions: ground operations support on AMADEE-24 at ARMASH (Armenia), astronaut on the all-female LOTOS mission at the Analog Astronaut Training Center (Poland), and crew member on Terra Nova at LunAres (Poland) simulating Axiom-4. Hanna unpacks what it means to represent Armenia, how analog missions build resilient teams, and why soft-skills and cognitive training matter as much as hardware. It’s a fast, inspiring look at persistence, purpose, and finding your place in the global space community. Hanna Harutyunyan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannasav/Mission: Analog Podcast: https://missionanalog.com/Starmus: https://starmus.com/AMADEE-24 Mission: https://oewf.org/en/amadee-24/Buzz Lightyear in Space: https://youtu.be/AzcnBdq1TZ4?si=ay2I0kGVSb2e-TOrLunares Website: https://lunares.space/Hanna’s Logo photo credit: https://borderless.so/stories/my-educational-journey-to-space-to-infinity-and-beyondHanna’s GOST Uniform photo credit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannasav/recent-activity/all/Axiom-4 mission: www.axiomspace.com/missions/ax4Asclepios Website: https://asclepios.ch/ARMASH Facility photo credit: https://x.com/AustriaInGe/status/1776499504503570649/photo/4LOTOS crew photo credit: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannasav/recent-activity/images/Lunares Habitat photo credit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LunAres#/media/File:LunAres_Research_Station_in_the_post-nuclear_bunker.jpgNineCubes: https://www.interpersonalskillslab.ch/en/Martina Dimoska photo credit: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxLsVm3LcRG/?hl=en&img_index=1The Airlock Module Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/AirlockModule
