Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA)
NASA ground-analog research programme that studies crew health and performance during extended simulated stays on Mars. Four-person crews live and work in an isolated habitat at Johnson Space Center, facing resource limits, communication delays and simulated mission tasks. CHAPEA is the programme; its individual missions and the Mars Dune Alpha habitat are distinct identities.
