The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is training four people to live on Mars this summer. Though the US space agency’s effort to send humans to the neighboring planet is not new, four ‘Martians’ will be part of NASA’s human exploration mission to Mars.
NASA has also sent satellites, a lander called InSight designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough investigation, and a rover mission consisting of the rover Perseverance, the small robotic helicopter Ingenuity, and associated delivery systems.
The first analog mission will begin this year, with a second and third mission scheduled for 2025 and 2026.
NASA is going to keep four common people in such a place for a year, where the conditions will be like Mars. The mission will start in June this year.
NASA wants to understand the conditions of Mars by keeping 4 people in Martian conditions for a year. She wants to know what kind of conditions humans will have to face when they are actually landed on Mars and sent to live there temporarily. To understand all this, the space agency has prepared a mission on Earth with conditions similar to Mars.
It is scheduled to begin in June when the volunteer crew, who are not astronauts, enters the 3D-printed habitat.
The 3D-printed habitat includes private crew quarters, a kitchen, and dedicated areas for medical, recreation, fitness, work, and crop growth activities, as well as a technical work area and two bathrooms.
