Study Notes
Mars Simulation Experiment
- NASA funds a Mars simulation experiment in a habitat on a Pacific Ocean volcano.
- The habitat's purpose is to study human cohabitation in confined spaces, suitable for space travel.
- The habitat, 11 meters in diameter, is the size of a small apartment.
- Six crew members share the space, with personal areas for sleeping and sitting.
- Spacesuits are required for leaving the capsule.
- The experiment has run five missions, lasting 6-12 months.
- Findings indicate that close interaction in compact spaces leads to better interpersonal relationships, despite the need for personal space.
