Four small rooms, a gym and a lot of red sand—NASA unveiled on Tuesday its new Mars-simulation habitat, in which volunteers will live for a year at a time to test what life will be like on future missions to Earth's neighbor.
The facility, created for three planned experiments called the Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog , is located at the US space agency's massive research base in Houston, Texas.
"We can really start to understand how we're supporting them with what we're providing them, and that's going to be really important information to making those critical resource decisions," she said on a press tour of the habitat.
Several pieces of equipment astronauts would likely use are scattered around the red sand-covered floor, including aThere is also a treadmill on which the make-believe astronauts will walk suspended from straps to simulate the red planet's lesser gravity. The members of the first experiment team have yet to be named, but the agency stated that selection"will follow standard NASA criteria for astronaut candidate applicants," with a heavy emphasis on backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and math.A treadmill and straps help replicate Mars' lesser gravity., such as restricting water availability or equipment failures.
