NEEMO 14 Mission Day 8
May 19, 2010 09:13:11 AM | NASA Testing for Human Space Exploration
-
- Mission week 2 presents new challenges as the team switches to a 20-minute delay in communications, similar to the delay they'd experience on Mars. The crew completed more EVAs, connected to schools through NASA's Digital Learning Network for a live webcast.. and made some silly hats for the evening's debrief.

Haughton Mars Project (HMP): Sea-Ice Traverse
May 07, 2010 08:21:49 AM | NASA Testing for Human Space Exploration
-
- In preparation for the Haughton-Mars Project in July, the international HMP team will drive the Moon-1 Humvee Rover across 200 km of frigid, snow-covered arctic barrens, including a critical stretch crossing 35 km of rough sea-ice filling the Wellington Channel. The challenging journey to Devon Island will take approximately two to three days, if the weather and sea-ice conditions are favorable.

The 2010 Field Testing Season Begins!
May 03, 2010 05:15:16 PM | Erin Mahoney

- Throughout the North American continent and beyond, we have teams conducting what are called “analog field tests.” The simple definition of the word analog is “something similar or relating to,” which means we are testing in locations that we have found to be similar or related to the surfaces we expect to encounter on other planets or asteroids.
