NASA is currently accepting applications for individuals interested in participating in a year-long simulated mission on Mars. This unique opportunity is open to US citizens or permanent residents between the ages of 30 and 55 who are non-smokers and hold a Master's degree in STEM, have two years of professional experience, or have accumulated 1000 hours of piloting an aircraft.
If selected, participants will become part of a four-person crew living and working in a 1700 square foot 3D printed space that simulates conditions on Mars. Communication with Earth will be subject to delays to mimic the communication lag experienced on Mars, adding to the challenge of the mission.
