The Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) is a series of missions conducted by NASA simulating missions on Mars. It consists of three missions, the first of which began on June 25, 2023. [1] The mission is contained in a hangar at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. [2]
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.
During the formal Mars simulation period of each expedition, it is required that any outside work be done while wearing a simulated spacesuit and that all communications are conducted by radio. Space suited crew members use a simulated airlock depress/repress procedure upon each exit and entry to the habitat.
Artemis: NASA’s Artemis campaign is exploring the Moon for scientific discovery, technology advancement, and to learn how to live and work on another world as we prepare for human missions to Mars. NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever ...
The MDRS station is situated on the San Rafael Swell of Southern Utah, [4] 11.63 kilometres (7.23 mi) by road northwest of Hanksville, Utah. [5] It is the second such analogue research station to be built by the Mars Society, following the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station or FMARS [6] on Devon Island in Canada's high Arctic.
The study suggests leveraging Rocket Lab’s vertically integrated technologies to retrieve samples from the Red Planet for the first time as part of NASA’s Mars Sample Return Program.
NASA Design Reference Mission 3.0 was a NASA study for a human space mission to the planet Mars in the 1990s. It was a plan for a human exploration architecture for Mars, and was released in 1998 as an addendum to the early design plans released in 1994.
Mars Exploration Program (MEP) is a long-term effort to explore the planet Mars, funded and led by NASA. Formed in 1993, MEP has made use of orbital spacecraft , landers , and Mars rovers to explore the possibilities of life on Mars , as well as the planet's climate and natural resources . [ 1 ]
