Yes, wtf is an analog astronaut. I used to play a lot of Kerbal Space Program, am I a digital astronaut?
All I can find about her is interviews with her, no secondary sources. In one she says she is the founder of International Space Agency.
Sounds like a media hack to spice up her resume (and green card documents…)
The source is her fb page here as well.
I found this:
The analog astronautic missions prepare us for future explorations of asteroids, the Moon, Mars and other planetary bodies.
A the moment I’m serving as science officer in the 14th mission at the University of North Dakota (UND) Inflatable Lunar-Mars Analog Habitat (ILMAH) financed by NASA. We are “locked down” for 21 days, completely cut off from the world with with an appropriate time lag of 20 minutes each way, to account for the 63.4-million-mile distance between Earth and Mars.
Analogue missions are missions that simulate some aspect of the off-planet living conditions here.
I talked for a while with these guys (who are students, but still seem pretty serious), they had a stand at a convention I visited, they use a tunnel in the alps to simulate a habitation module:
Analogue missions seem like a legitimate contribution to the success of real missions to me, you gotta test both psychological effects and the functionality of prototype devices somehow.

It says it right there, they do simulations and fun little LARPs on Earth to figure shit out.
I found that later, forgot to add some “edit:”.
But she tries to present herself as someone on the levels of Einstein, but she is just a university student who got some internship in a nasa project.
