El diseño de estaciones análogas en Marte con Realidad Virtual (RV) representa una oportunidad para simular las misiones análogas que se realizan en la Tierra actualmente. Este estudio presenta la propuesta de diseño y estructura inicial de una estación análoga con el potencial del uso de la RV como herramienta clave para su desarrollo. La RV ofrece la ventaja de entornos marcianos similares de manera accesible, replicando factores como la geografía y condiciones climáticas. Por otro lado, su uso en misiones análogas es compatible para garantizar una salud física y psicológica a la hora de la inmersión con complementos de inteligencia artificial (IA). Se concluye que el diseño de esta propuesta, apoyado en realidad virtual, optimiza la planificación y preparación de misiones análogas. Permitiendo así, evaluar y mejorar diversos factores como la habitabilidad, la capacitación y la reducción de costos. De este modo, se consolida a la RV como un pilar naciente en la simulación marciana.
