ICON’s Project Olympus may be years away, but NASA’s CHAPEA, a 3D-printed Mars habitat, will be open to media on April 11th before a crew enters for a yearlong mission. This will be the first of three planned mission in NASA’s CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) habitat and scheduled to begin in June when the volunteer crew, who are not astronauts, enter,
During this simulated mission, crew members aim to carry out various mission activities, including simulated spacewalks, robotic operations, habitat maintenance, personal hygiene, exercise, and crop growth. They will also face environmental stressors such as resource limitations, isolation, and equipment failure. The habitat itself resembles the expected experience for those living in a future Mars surface habitat, as its layout was designed to provide separate areas within the habitat for living and working.

The in-person media event includes an opportunity to speak with subject matter experts and capture b-roll and photos inside the habitat. Crew members will not be available as they’ll arrive at NASA Johnson later this spring to begin training for the simulated mission,” said NASA.
