TL;DR Summary

NASA is recruiting four volunteers for a yearlong Moon and Mars Exploration Analog (MMEA) at the Johnson Space Center to simulate living in space. The program, starting no earlier than August 2027, will place participants in two habitats—a 650-square-foot mock spacecraft and a 900-square-foot surface habitat—for three mission phases that mimic travel, surface living, crop growth, health maintenance, and spacewalk practices, with two months of pre- and post-mission training (14 months total). Applicants must be U.S. citizens or green-card holders aged 30–55, fluent in English, and hold bachelor’s degrees in engineering, biological/physical sciences, or mathematics (advanced STEM degrees or military experience also considered). The study aims to reduce risks and test countermeasures for long-duration space travel and Moon/Mars objectives, including adjustments for Mars time.
