"NASA Seeks Volunteers for Year-Long Mars Habitat Simulation"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fox News

NASA is seeking a four-person crew to participate in a year-long Mars simulation at Johnson Space Center in Houston, as part of the Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog program. The first crew is currently halfway through their mission, and the second simulation is set to begin in 2025. The selected crew will face challenges simulating life on Mars, and NASA is looking for candidates with science and engineering backgrounds. The simulation aims to gather data to prepare for human exploration of Mars, and the habitat will be equipped with supplies for the crew to practice personal hygiene, healthcare, exercise, and more.

"NASA's Crew for Simulated Mars Mission Begins Training in Texas"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by NASA

NASA has selected a crew of four volunteers for a simulated mission to Mars inside the HERA facility in Houston, allowing scientists to study how crew members adapt to the isolation, confinement, and work conditions astronauts will experience during future spaceflight missions. The crew will participate in 18 human health studies, including international collaborations, and conduct science, operational, and maintenance tasks while facing communication delays with the outside world. The upcoming mission marks the first of four simulated missions to Mars using HERA in 2024, with each mission including a different crew of four astronaut-like research volunteers.
