After 378 days inside a mock Mars habitat, the 4 volunteers for NASA’s yearlong simulation of a keep on the crimson planet are coming house. The crew — Kelly Haston, Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell and Nathan Jones — is scheduled to exit the 3D-printed habitat in Houston this night. You’ll be able to watch the livestream of their return on NASA TV (under) beginning at 5PM ET.
This marks the top of NASA’s first Crew Well being and Efficiency Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) mission. There are plans already for 2 extra one-year missions, one among which NASA recently accepted applications for.
The Mission 1 crew entered the 1700-square-foot habitat on the Johnson House Heart on June 25 of final 12 months and has spent the months since conducting simulated Marswalks, rising greens and performing different duties designed to help life and work in that setting, like habitat upkeep. No precise dates for the second CHAPEA mission have been set but, but it surely’s anticipated to start in spring 2025.
