An Air Force test pilot, a Space Force officer, and a Marine Corps F/A-18 pilot were named to the crew of a NASA Mars simulation mission.

Four researchers will spend more than a year in a 3D-printed habitat, acting as though they're eating, sleeping and living on Mars. A previous simulation concluded in July 2024.

A test pilot from Edwards Air Force base has been selected for a yearlong NASA Mars mission simulation to study long-term human survivability on the Red Planet.

Launch costs were high and minimizing mass sent to space was the main driver for mission design. To reduce mass, mission designs employed nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP), in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) to produce propellants for ascent from Mars and reliance on efficient recycling of gaseous and liquid wastes.

Four volunteers will spend a year inside a 3D-printed habitat at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas State as part of a mission simulation to help prepare for future human exploration of Mars,

With no evacuations or quick communication possible on Mars, medical risks are magnified. NASA is looking at creating an AI doctor to assist astronauts.

Four person crew to simulate year-long Mars mission - Three men and one woman will enter the1,700-square-foot capsule next month

Highlighting its intent to send humans to Mars, NASA has announced that it will soon be embarking on a year-long simulation of a Mars mission using four research volunteers. Ross Elder, an experimental test pilot in the U.
