A two-week mission to perform scientific experiments and test technological instruments needed for the future exploration of the Moon or Mars was successfully completed on March 6 at the HI-SEAS habitat.
The six-member crew has been hard at work with geological and drone surveys, lava tube exploration and space technology testing.
The six-person crew’s research includes geological and drone surveys, lava tube exploration and space technology testing.
The research program has operated five planetary surface missions on the Mars-like flank of Mauna Loa to investigate crew composition and cohesion.
UH Mānoa faculty members Kim Binsted, Melissa Price and Malia Rivera will be interviewed by host Ira Flatow on Science Friday.
More than 30 science and community organizations including UH Hilo, ʻImiloa Astronomy Center, Institute for Astronomy, HI-SEAS and more will fascinate participants of all ages.
Researchers from UH Mānoa are seeking crewmembers for a NASA-funded long-duration space exploration analog study.
On February 15, the most international HI-SEAS crew entered the geodesic dome at the 8,200 foot level of Mars-like Mauna Loa, their home on Hawaiʻi Island for the next eight months.
The Mission VI crewmembers hail from Australia, Korea, Scotland and Slovakia and will enter a geodesic dome habitat atop Mauna Loa as part of an eight-month research study of human behavior and performance.
