NASA prepares Mars mission on Earth for 4 volunteers


Though we are able to’t but ship folks to Mars NASA is getting in some observe.

In June, 4 volunteers from exterior of NASA with backgrounds in science and engineering will begin a mission on Mars, however, it is a simulation on the Johnson House Middle. Contained in the Mars habitat, the volunteer crew will eat, drink, and train within the simulation.

Dr. Grace Douglas heads NASA’s Crew Well being and Efficiency Exploration analog (CHAPEA).

“As we’re transferring from close to earth orbit or decrease earth orbit to missions additional away from earth, we actually want to grasp how we’re impacting crew well being with extra restricted sources” Dr. Douglas stated.
