Hanna Harutyunyan: The First Armenian Analog Astronaut at ARMASH, AATC, And LunAres
04 Nov 2025
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.
