The candidates chosen by NASA will spend a year at the station at the Mars Dune Alpha special module at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.The goal is to prepare for the future sending astronauts to the planet.

A special object with an area of about 158 m2 was created using a 3D printer.Mars Dune Alpha has no windows, the participants of the experiment will eat especially food for astronauts.NASA plans three such experiments.The first to which four participants are looking for will start in autumn 2022.

Space walks and restrictions

The simulated Martian exploration mission, in which the elect will take part, will includeSpace walks, limited communication with family, limited access to food and other resources.As part of the exercises, the participants also await, for example, equipment failures and other situations that can wait for astronauts.

As Grace Douglas from NASA says, quoted by Skynews: "We want to understand how people are doing in such conditions. We want to create realistic situations that can happen on Mars."

Candidates must have a master's degree in exact sciences, engineering or mathematics or have aviation experience.The agency also adds that only American citizens or steel US residents qualify for the experiment.Applicants must be aged 30 to 55, be healthy, without nutritional problems and without a tendency to motion disease.

According to the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, NASA is looking for people who are close to astronauts.He stated that earlier Russian efforts in a fake mission called Mars 500 did not end well, partly because people were too similar to "ordinary people", not astronauts.
