NASA Seeks Four People To Live In A Mars Simulation For A Full Year

The missions called Chapea, take place in a 3D-printed Mars habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

NASA is searching for four volunteers to find out what living on Mars would be like.

Participants will live in a simulation that portrays a fake Mars for a full year to help them prepare for human exploration of the planet.

This is the second of three missions in which four volunteers will live in the 1,700 square-foot Mars simulation.

The missions called Chapea, take place in a 3D-printed Mars habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

Just like life on actual Mars, there will be limited resources. Volunteers will set out on simulated space walks and will have to work to maintain the habitat, grow crops and work with robotics.

They will also experience typical environmental stressors of the planet as well as equipment failures and delays in communications.

The mission will kick off in spring of 2025 and those interested have until April 2 to apply.
