"NASA Seeks Volunteers for Yearlong Mars Simulation Mission"

NASA is seeking volunteers for a simulated mission to Mars, where a crew of four will live and work inside a 3D-printed habitat in Houston for one year, starting in 2025. The agency is looking for healthy U.S. citizens between 30 and 55 years old with specific qualifications, and the selection process could take up to 13 months. The first mission, currently ongoing, aims to monitor crew health and performance in a confined space, with the goal of gathering data to ensure the well-being of future Martian crews.

Year-long Mars simulation begins as NASA locks volunteers in virtual base

Four volunteers have begun a 378-day simulation inside a NASA-designed Mars base to test the challenges of a real-life mission to Mars. The simulation, named CHAPEA 1, is being conducted in a 3D-printed habitat and will involve tasks such as spacewalks, robotic operations, crop growing, and habitat maintenance. The crew will face environmental stressors like resource limitations and isolation. This is the first of three planned Mars surface simulations, and the data collected will contribute to future Mars missions. The crew consists of a mission commander, a structural engineer, an emergency medicine physician, and a microbiologist, none of whom have been trained as astronauts.
