The habitat, known as Mars Dune Alpha, is a 1700 square foot 3D-printed area designed to simulate the type of structure that would be built on a mission to Mars. [6] It includes crew quarters, an exercise area, [ 7 ] a work room, a recreation area, and a crop area. [ 3 ]
Selene II was the first of the Selene missions which aimed to simulate living in a HI-SEAS habitat on the moon, it lasted a total of 14 days from November 18, 2020 to December 1, 2020. [34] [35] The Selene II mission crew consisted of Dr. Michaela Musilova, Lindsay Rutter, Karen Rucker, Fabio Teixeira, Cassandra Klos, and Ben Greaves. [36]
The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is the second Mars analog habitat established by the Mars Society. Located on the San Rafael Swell in Utah , the MDRS has been inhabited by 130 individual crews (of roughly 6 members each) between the first field season in December 2001 and the twelfth field season ending in May 2013.

Biosphere 2 in Arizona Crew for a Mars research mission practice techniques on Devon Island, in the Canadian arctic Some examples of analog tests with people include NASA conducting a 120-day study in Hawaii to test a space food diet (HI-SEAS), [ 2 ] and equipment tests inside Austrian mountain caves in 2012.

The MDRS station is situated on the San Rafael Swell of Southern Utah, [4] 11.63 kilometres (7.23 mi) by road northwest of Hanksville, Utah. [5] It is the second such analogue research station to be built by the Mars Society, following the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station or FMARS [6] on Devon Island in Canada's high Arctic.
A NASA mission to test how living on Mars would stress and test a human crew ended Saturday, with four volunteers emerging from more than a year in a 1,700-square-foot structure.

[2] [3] [4] The ARES team, headed by Dr. Joel S. Levine, [5] sought to be selected and funded as a NASA Mars Scout Mission for a 2011 or 2013 launch window. [6] ARES was chosen as one of four finalists in the program, out of 25 potential programs. [7] However, the Phoenix mission was ultimately chosen instead. [8]
