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 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 Mars environment at Johnson Space Center in Houston, coming out of the artificial alien enviroment Saturday around 5 p.m.

NASA's Space Power Facility was used to test the airbag landing systems for the Mars Pathfinder and the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, under simulated Mars atmospheric conditions. Gravity. The gravity of Mars is about 38% of Earth's gravity at the surface, [11] about 3.7 metres per second 2. [12]
The mission ended on 28 August 2016, with the crew emerging to a crowd of news media and cameramen. [22] This was the longest HI-SEAS yet, and the longest NASA-funded space simulation in history, with the previous mission lasting 8 months, and before that 4 months. [22]
The crops were grown in simulated Martian regolith - soil with no organic matter - developed by NASA researchers that is a near-perfect physical and chemical match to real Martian soil.
