NASA CHAPEA Mission 2 Crew Exits Habitat After 378 Days of Simulated Mars Isolation
NASA published an image article on November 10 reporting that the crew of its second Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) mission exited its habitat at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, on Saturday, October 31, after 378 days of isolation.
CHAPEA is a ground-based analog mission simulating life in a Mars habitat. On August 31, the crew arranged photos around a boot print in the simulated Martian sand outside their habitat, a moment recorded in NASA's November 10 image article.
NASA said the health and performance data collected from the simulation can help the agency develop methods to counter human spaceflight risks for future Artemis and Moon Base missions.
