Original: Crew from NASA's simulated Mars mission emerges after 378 days in isolation
The four-member crew of NASA's CHAPEA simulated Mars mission has emerged from its habitat in Houston after spending 378 days in isolation. The volunteers lived inside a 3D-printed habitat designed to mimic conditions on the Martian surface, helping NASA study how long-duration isolation affects health, food systems and teamwork ahead of future human missions to Mars.
Why now: The crew's long-awaited exit from the year-long analog mission marks a milestone for NASA's Mars preparation efforts.
