NASA is seeking four volunteers to spend a year in a Mars simulation at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, living in a 1,700-square-foot 3D-printed habitat called the Mars Dune Alpha. The simulation aims to replicate the challenges of living on Mars, including limited resources and communication delays. Applicants must be healthy, nonsmoking U.S. citizens or permanent residents between 30 and 55 years old, proficient in English, and have strong educational and professional backgrounds in STEM fields. The first crew is already more than halfway through their mission, and the application deadline for the second crew is April 2. Compensation details are provided during the candidate screening process.

NASA is seeking four volunteers for a 12-month simulated Mars experiment in a 1,700 square-foot structure at Johnson Space Center, where they will conduct spacewalks and provide data on their health while battling extreme isolation. The experiment, called CHAPEA, aims to simulate Mars-realistic conditions and will pay participants $10 for every waking hour. The habitat includes basic amenities, a gym, vertical farm, and an 'outdoor' area with red sand. NASA hopes to gain insights into resource use for future Mars missions and is seeking US citizens aged 30-55 with STEM experience or pilot-in-command time to apply.
