In the field, on “Mars”

I have spent the past couple of days at the Mars Desert Research Station outside of Hanskville, UT, engaged in a simulated human mission to Mars. The pace has been hectic as we’ve worked to learn how the two-story Hab we live in operates, maintain all of its systems, keep ourselves alive on a limited selection of food, and also plan and execute our science goals. I’m learning new things every hour on the hour, and for the duration of the mission I’ll be posting to our crew blog rather than here. So feel free to follow us there — and enjoy the absolutely gorgeous photos we’re posting!
