CHAPEA Crew Leaves a Mark
The CHAPEA Mission 2 crew recently spent 378 days in a simulated Martian environment at Johnson Space Center, where they collected health and performance data. The crew members decorated the habitat's exterior with photos on August 31, before exiting the facility after their isolation period ended. They left the facility on October 31.
Why it's good news: The data collected during the simulation will help NASA develop ways to mitigate risks for future space missions to the Moon and beyond.
