Year-Long Mars Simulation: Volunteers Sealed in Isolated Habitat by NASA
TL;DR Summary
NASA has sealed four volunteers into a simulated Martian habitat, called Mars Dune Alpha, for a year-long experiment called CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog). The mission aims to study the logistics and human psychology of long-term living on another planet. The crew will live, work, exercise, sleep, and perform experiments in the 1700 square-foot 3D-printed habitat, and will also participate in simulated spacewalks using virtual reality. The mission will provide insights into the physical and behavioral aspects of a Mars mission, helping NASA prepare for future manned missions to the red planet.
