Mars Doon Alpha - Chippea Mission to Mars

A 17 hundred square foot analogue habitat that we built in collaboration with nassau at the johnson space center. It is going to house four volunteer crew members simulating a mission to mars over the course of one year. And it should be in operation, i believe, in october, for people to live in under as close to mars analogue conditions as we can achieve here on earth. A mars don alpha kind of sounds rolls off the tongue right? Like it's a little bit easier to say. What is mars doon alpha? So mars doonalpha is our design for the chipea analogue. Chippea stands for the crew health and performance exploration analogue.
