“Martians wanted”: NASA is planning a year-long simulation
Anyone who has always wanted to spend a whole year on a Mars simulation site – and meets strict requirements – can now apply to NASA to become a “Martian”.
There, the participants should, among other things, take care of the harvest, living area, machines and maintenance, as well as do sports. This is the second such simulation that is part of NASA’s “Chapea” program, which is intended to prepare missions to Mars.
NASA said anyone who has a university degree in natural sciences and at least 1,000 hours of flight can apply until April 2nd. In addition, applicants must be between 30 and 55 years old, “healthy and motivated,” not smoke and have US citizenship or a permanent residence permit. The use will be compensated.
