The crew lived inside a 158-square-meter habitat located in a NASA hangar at the Johnson Space Center. This mission, designated as Mission 2 of the Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog Experiment, involved conducting experiments and managing equipment failures. One crew member described the experience as a "hellish year." The exercise aims to prepare NASA for future human excursions to Mars by studying the effects of long-term isolation.Why it mattersNASA uses analog experimen
