Sick of Earth? NASA is recruiting volunteers for a yearlong Moon and Mars simulation
For anyone who has ever wondered whether they could handle life on another planet, NASA is offering a chance to find out â well, sort of.
The US space agency is looking to recruit four participants for its Moon and Mars Exploration Analog (MMEA), a yearlong simulation program that is designed to replicate traveling and living on the Moon and Mars, it said in a press release earlier this month.
While it may not be quite the real deal, volunteers will be in spacelike conditions, living inside confined habitats and carrying out tasks just as astronauts would, such as growing crops, looking after their health and replicating spacewalks.

NASA Seeks Volunteers for Yearlong Simulated Mission to Moon, Mars
NASA is recruiting participants for the Moon and Mars Exploration Analog mission, set to begin no earlier than August 2027 at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. For one year, research volunteers will live and work in isolation and confinement while simulating interplanetary transit and planetary surface operations, including simulated spacewalks.
This mission is the first in a ground-based environment that will simulate multiple parts of a Moon or Mars mission, combining elements of NASA’s HERA (Human Exploration Research Analog) and the CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) missions into a single, integrated campaign. Crew members will use the habitat previously used for HERA at NASA Johnson as their simulated transit spacecraft, operating in a confined, isolated environment that mirrors deep‑space travel. They then will shift to the surface habitat phase, where researchers will study crew performance under the resource limits and mission demands crew members could experience on another planetary surface. Together, the two facilities provide a streamlined way to evaluate how astronauts adapt across the full range of potential Moon and Mars mission scenarios.
