The NASA crew spent much of their time on simulated spacewalks, or 'Marswalks' as they called them.
A NASA crew has emerged from a simulated Mars environment after spending more than 12 months inside the 3D-printed habitat. Kelly Haston, Anca Selariu, Ross Brockwell and Nathan Jones entered the Mars simulation on June 25, 2023, becoming the first crew of NASA’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog project.The four volunteers lived and worked inside the 17,000-square-foot space to simulate a mission to the red planet.
They also grew vegetables to supplement their provisions and maintained the habitat and their equipment. They experienced challenges that a Mars crew would likely face, like limited resources, extreme isolation and 22-minute delays in communication with their home planet.
