<h5>When will the four humans begin living on Mars?</h5><p>Imagine four humans living on a planet. There is no other life form over there. What will they do the whole day? How will they survive? We might get the answer soon as four humans will begin living on Mars. But wait, there’s a twist to it.</p><p>Four humans will begin living in a Mars-simulated environment (yea…they’re not actually going to Mars). This will advance the efforts of engineers and scientists to make it possible to transport humans to the red planet and make it habitable. The four volunteers are part of a year-long mission to prepare humanity for the exploration of Mars.</p><p>The crew will begin living in their simulated Martian home in June 2023 for one year. Scientists want to observe how the crew performs in such an environment and the constraints that they will face.</p><h5>What will the team do in the simulated environment?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/four-humans-will-begin-living-on-mars%2Fequipment-such-as-treadmills-in-the-simulated-martian-environment.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=7131f4bd-e375-442d-8666-4f83f43c1c51"><figcaption><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Equipment such as treadmills in the simulated Martian environment.

This includes simulated spacewalks, habitat maintenance, robotic operations, personal hygiene, exercise, and the growing of crops. In order to be as similar to the conditions on Mars when humans arrive, the crew will endure environmental difficulties.</p><p>The difficulties include situations like resource constraints, isolation, and equipment failure. The team of four will also check out communications, meal preparation, maintenance work, personal time, science work, and sleep. They will also operate robots remotely, as it will be required during real-life missions on Mars.</p><p>The team will use a helicopter-like drone and a robot. These kinds of robots are used for exploration activities. All of their activities will be recorded and analysed in order to better prepare humans for their arrival on the red planet.</p><h5>What will the simulated habitat look like?</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/four-humans-will-begin-living-on-mars%2Fworkstation-where-rocks-collected-from-simulated-spacewalks-can-be-analysed.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=81dfc3c7-5a05-49ee-b270-82f2fb788d3e"><figcaption><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A workstation where rocks collected from simulated spacewalks can be analysed.

There will be a technical work area and two bathrooms. All of these will be 3D-printed.</p><p>This is the first of the three missions planned for NASA's Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA) habitat.</p><h5>When will the other two missions take place?</h5><p>NASA has planned the missions to gain a better understanding of what it takes to live on our nearest planetary neighbours. With the first mission underway this year, the second mission will take place in 2025, followed by a third mission in 2026.</p><p>The findings of the CHAPEA missions could have an impact on future NASA missions, including ones to Mars' surface. There’s still a long way to go before humans can stay on Mars.&nbsp;</p>

There are plans to make Mars habitable. One such mission will begin soon.
