Human research application of HERA
Facility can be used to test operational conceptso Transit phase
Isolation/Confinement within HERAo Exploration scenarios
Crew leaves HERA for simulated planetary EVAs
Assume 4 missions per year for 2‐3 years Just completed 4 missions, 7 day duration. Missions are tightly controlled in terms of stress, work pace, mission tasks and objectives.
