The habitat, known as Mars Dune Alpha, is a 1700 square foot 3D-printed area designed to simulate the type of structure that would be built on a mission to Mars. [6] It includes crew quarters, an exercise area, [7] a work room, a recreation area, and a crop area. [3] The crop area has been used to grow peppers, tomatoes, and other vegetables. [8]
The purpose of the detailed research studies is to determine what is required to keep a space flight crew happy and healthy during an extended mission to Mars and while living on Mars. [7] Research into food, crew dynamics, behaviors, roles and performance, and other aspects of space flight and a mission on Mars itself is the primary focus.
The gravity of Mars is about 38% of Earth's gravity at the surface, [11] about 3.7 metres per second 2. [12] This can be simulated for short time by an aircraft following a flight profile that causes this type of acceleration. [13] This technique (using a variation on free-fall) has allowed the gait of people in Mars gravity to be studied. [13]
The crew of a NASA mission to Mars emerged from their craft after a yearlong voyage that never left Earth. The four volunteer crew members spent more than 12 months inside NASA's first simulated ...

A NASA mission to test how living on Mars would stress and test a human crew ended Saturday, with four volunteers emerging from more than a year in a 1,700-square-foot structure.
Sierra-Sastre also served as a research scientist and project manager at the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing's (BEP's) Office of Technology Development until April 2020. [7] She now serves as a Project Manager at NASA supporting the Mars Sample Return [8] [9] and lunar VIPER (Volatile Investigating Polar Exploration Rover) missions. [10] [11]
