HERA
Human Exploration Research Analog
NASA’s Human Research Program utilizes the Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA)
to conduct a series of analog missions in Houston, Texas. The HERA is a unique,
multi-level facility used as an analog for isolation, confinement, and remote conditions
in exploration scenarios. These simulated missions may include up to 45 days spent living
and working isolated inside of the HERA habitat. NASA is seeking healthy subjects to
participate in these missions to learn about the physiological and psychological effects
of isolation and confinement on humans to help prepare for missions to the Moon and on to
Mars. For more information continue reading the information on this website to learn more
about these missions and if interested, submit the application for consideration as a potential
HERA mission crew member.
