Once inside, the team will live and work like astronauts for 45 days. The crew will exit the facility on June 24 after they \u201creturn\u201d to Earth. Jose Baca and Brandon Kent are this mission\u2019s alternate crew members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HERA enables scientists to study how crew members adapt to isolation, confinement, and remote conditions before NASA sends astronauts on deep space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Crew members will carry out scientific research and operational tasks throughout their simulated mission to the Red Planet, including a \u201cwalk\u201d on Mars\u2019s surface using virtual reality. They will also experience increasing communication delays lasting up to five minutes each way with Mission Control Center as they \u201cnear\u201d Mars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This crew is the second group of volunteers to participate in a simulated Mars mission in HERA this year. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/humans-in-space\/nasa-selects-crew-for-next-simulated-mars-mission\/\">most recent crew<\/a> completed its HERA mission on March 18. Two other missions will follow this year, with the final HERA crew slated to wrap up on Dec. 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a first for HERA, one crew member, Shareef Al Romaithi, hails from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and will participate in the mission through a partnership between NASA and the UAE\u2019s Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the previous HERA mission this year, NASA\u2019s Human Research Program is conducting 18 human health studies during the mission. The experiments will evaluate the physiological, behavioral, and psychological responses of crew members in an environment similar to what astronauts will face on a trip to Mars. Seven of these studies are collaborations with the MBRSC and the European Space Agency (ESA). Insights gleaned from the studies will allow researchers to develop and test strategies aimed at helping astronauts overcome obstacles on long missions deep into space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary crew of the upcoming mission is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Primary Crew<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jason Lee<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"275\" height=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-591925\" style=\"float: left;margin: 16px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/jasonlee-2-1.png\" alt=\"Jason Lee portrait\">Jason Lee is an associate professor-in-residence at the University of Connecticut’s School of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Manufacturing Engineering.
