The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is looking for people to participate in a year-long mission in Mars Surface Simulations, the agency said.
The missions will be attended by four crew members who will live in a 1,700-square-foot, 3D-printed « Mars Dune Alpha » module at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The plan is to simulate the challenges astronauts could face on missions to Mars, including equipment failure, communication delays, or « other environmental stressors. »
Grace Douglas, a scientist at the Johnson Space Center, said the Simulations are crucial for the agency to see what life is like on Mars.
But not everyone can apply: NASA only wants to hear from MINT graduates, medical professionals or test pilots. Applications are possible until September 17th.
