The participants will have a schedule of simulated activities and science work, including eating like astronauts and dealing with maintenance and equipment failures.NASA researchers will spend a year living in a simulated Mars outpost. The simulated base, called “Mars Dune Alpha,” is isolated in a hangar at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The 1,700-square-foot base has a work area, a living and kitchen area, private bedrooms, a medical area, a communications center, an exercise room and an airlock.The first simulation, known as an analog, will begin in June and will be followed by two more.Copyright 2023 CNN Newsource.
