## Executive Summary
NASA is recruiting volunteers to live in isolation for one year to simulate missions to the Moon and Mars.

## Intelligence Brief
NASA has announced a search for volunteers to participate in a yearlong simulated off-world mission. Participants will be isolated from the outside world in a space simulator to mimic conditions of travel to the Moon and Mars.


Coverage from NASA, Scientific American, and The Register emphasizes the requirement for volunteers to remain locked in the simulation for the full year. Other reports from Yahoo, Orbital Today, and India Today highlight the mission's goal of simulating deep-space environments.


Future developments depend on the recruitment process for these volunteers to join the simulated Moon and Mars missions.

## Verified Facts & Key Claims

The simulated mission will last for one year.

### What destinations are being simulated?
The simulations are designed for missions to the Moon and Mars.

### Where will the volunteers live during the study?
Volunteers will live in a space simulator.
