In this context, NASA is organizing an experiment in which it is looking for volunteer citizens to take part. Volunteers will be invited to live for one year locked in a house intended for use as a place to live on Mars.

According to "Naftemporiki", the building is called Mars Dune Alpha, it has an area of ​​160 square meters. meters and is a product of 3D printing. The program will have three phases with the first starting in 2022. In each phase the house will have four people living where they will experience conditions similar to those they would experience if they were on Mars.

Food and water will be limited, the equipment of the house will also be limited and designed so that it breaks down so that the residents try to find some solutions as it would happen in real conditions.
