"NASA Seeks Volunteers for Yearlong Mars Simulation Mission"
NASA is seeking volunteers for its yearlong simulated Mars mission, CHAPEA 2, starting in spring 2025, where four crew members will live in a 3D-printed habitat in Houston to simulate life on Mars. Applicants must be US citizens aged 30-55 with a master’s degree in a STEM field, English proficiency, and professional experience, and the mission involves habitat maintenance, crop growing, and simulated spacewalks. The first mission is currently underway, and applications are open until April 2.
