👩🚀 "The Martian" in real life: four volunteers spent a year in a capsule simulating the surface of the Red Planet, – NASA
Participants in the CHAPEA experiment have been living for almost 365 days in a special sealed module, growing plants, conserving resources, and simulating surface excursions. They communicated with their families only by email with a delay simulating communication with Mars.
The experiment is intended to help NASA study how prolonged isolation affects crew health and performance. The participants will leave the module on 31 October, after which they will undergo medical examinations and interviews with scientists.
