4 volunteers to live in NASA's Mars simulation for a year.
TL;DR Summary
Four volunteers will spend the next year inside a 1,700 square foot 3-D printed habitat at Johnson Space Center, simulating what it would be like to live on the planet Mars. The experiment is called CHAPEA, which stands for Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. The team will face planned and unplanned contingencies that would simulate living in a hostile environment like Mars. The objective is to optimize human health and performance during extended space travel.
