The four volunteers were in a simulation here on Earth to get ready for what life would be like there.
The maiden crew of the agency’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog project spent 378 days inside the space of 17,000 square feet for the simulation.HOUSTON — The crew of a NASA mission to Mars emerged from their craft after a yearlong voyage that never left Earth.
Jones, a physician and the mission medical officer, said their 378 days in confinement “went by quickly.” They also worked through challenges a real Mars crew would be expected to experience including limited resources, isolation and delays in communication of up to 22 minutes with their home planet on the other side of the habitat's walls, NASA said.
“They've been separated from their families, placed on a carefully prescribed meal plan and undergone a lot of observation,” Koerner said.
