The first crew to take part in a yearlong NASA Mars analog mission reached the 200 day mark of its mission Jan. 11.<\/p>\n

The four person analog crew, entered<\/a> the CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) habitat at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Center in Houston on June 25, 2023, and is scheduled to complete its mission on July 6, 2024.<\/p>\n

Over the past 200 days, the crew grew and harvested its first crops grown inside the 1,700-square-foot habitat, including tomatoes, peppers, and leafy greens, participated in a host of simulated \u201cMarswalks\u201d with relevant time delay, tempo, and activities consistent with future Mars mission concepts, and took part in science investigations in biological and physical sciences.<\/p>\n

NASA will use research gained from CHAPEA to determine how to best support crew health and performance while living on Mars during a long-duration exploration mission.<\/p>\n

In October, the CHAPEA crew harvested its first set of crops. The crop growth system inside the CHAPEA habitat is similar to systems used for indoor home gardening and provides water, nutrients, and lighting that can support the growth of leafy crops, herbs, and small fruits.<\/div>\n

NASA is leading a return to the Moon for long-term science and exploration. Through Artemis<\/a> missions, 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 before. Lessons learned on and around the Moon and activities like CHAPEA on the ground will prepare NASA for the next giant leap: sending astronauts to Mars.<\/p>\n
