Ever wondered how NASA studies what life would be like in deep space without leaving Earth? If you’re a student anywhere around the world, you now can directly ask your questions to crew members on a simulated journey to Mars.

Email your question to JSC-AskAnalogs@mail.nasa.gov. Your question could be picked for a Groundlink question-and-answer session with crew while they’re isolated in NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, a tiny facility at the Johnson Space Center.

HERA crew members are on a mission to help scientists learn more about how isolation, confinement, and remote conditions will affect astronauts on Artemis missions to the Moon and on future missions to Mars.
