NASA seeks volunteers for a paid, yearlong simulated Mars mission
==========
NASA is recruiting citizen volunteers for a yearlong simulated Mars mission at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The mission, called CHAPEA, is the second installment of three planned programs and will last 378 days starting in Spring 2025. The volunteers will live and work in a 1,700-square-foot, 3D-printed habitat called Mars Dune Alpha. The mission aims to collect data on how humans can survive and thrive in a Mars-like environment, including resource limitations, equipment failures, communication delays, and other stressors. Applicants must be healthy, nonsmoking U.S. citizens or permanent residents between the ages of 30 and 55 with a master's degree in STEM or a minimum of 1,000 hours piloting an aircraft or relevant military experience. Compensation is available, but the exact salary will be provided during the candidate screening process. The deadline to apply is April 2 on NASA's CHAPEA website.
