For more than a year, the crew simulated Mars mission operations, including Marswalks, grew and harvested several vegetables to supplement their shelf-stable food, maintained their equipment and habitat, and operated under additional stressors a Mars crew will experience, including communication delays with Earth, resource limitations, and isolation.

In addition to the CHAPEA crew, participants include:

+ Kjell Lindgren, the space agency astronaut and deputy director, Flight Operations
+ Grace Douglas, principal investigator, CHAPEA
+ Judy Hayes, chief science officer, Human Health and Performance Directorate
