"NASA Seeks 4 Volunteers for Year-Long Mars Habitat Simulation"

NASA is seeking four volunteers to spend a year living in a 1,700-square-foot Mars simulation called Mars Dune Alpha at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, as part of the CHAPEA mission to prepare for human exploration of Mars. The volunteers, who must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents aged 30-55 with STEM experience, will face limited resources, simulated space walks, and environmental stressors. The mission aims to study health and performance during Mars explorations, with applications open until April 2, 2025.
