Four volunteers are on the way as part of the ongoing preparations for the first crewed mission to the distant planet. 378 days a simulated to Martian habitat they are about to enter. In 3 days, their lives will change completely. So what will this test of life on Mars look like?
Countdown to test life on Mars
The specially designed habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, is available from Sunday, June 25. Alyssa Shannon, Ross Brockwell, Kelly Haston and Nathan Jones‘Fame It will be his new home. This four-man Mars crew is exactly the same. 378 days will spend here. Science, engineering and health The advanced crew will showcase their skills during their stay here.
Mission, CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Recon Analogue) It will be the first of three one-year Mars surface simulations. NASA, your crew confinement, resource limitations, equipment failures, and other environmental factors He emphasizes that he will fully experience the difficulties of a manned mission to Mars, including
The probability is high due to the large distance between Earth and Mars to increase the realism of the experience. communication breakdowns and delays will also be considered. Volunteers’ health and performance will be continuously monitored to provide information to planners for the future mission. Activities will consist of conducting scientific research, protecting the habitat and doing “Marswalks”.
Developed in just 1 year: The domestic pocket satellite launched by Space X into space!
Let’s take a closer look at the satellite developed and sent into space by the local startup Hello Space in a period of 1 year, and the company’s goals.
The four-man crew will live for more than a year CHAPEA living space, including private bedrooms, shared bathroom and toilet, and a common area where everyone can come together to eat and drink. nine rooms the one which… An area of 1700 square meters covers. The facility is part of the research, as similar construction methods could be used on Mars. large 3D printers was built using
NASA, in the late 2030s It aims to send the first human crew to Mars, but it’s worth noting, that date may be delayed. To date, the only celestial body that humans have traveled to is our Earth’s satellite, the Moon. Of course, this task will be much more challenging, as Mars is much farther away and has harsh conditions.
