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.
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.
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.
