This is the true story
of four strangers
picked to live in an isolated habitat
and have their lives taped
for the greater good of space exploration!

The purpose of HERA, the Human Exploration Research Analog,
is to gain insights into what living on another planet will be like without having to leave Earth.
Once crew members enter HERA, their missions last for 45 days. Crew members are isolated
from the outside world and live as though they are truly in a habitat based on another world.
Scientists in HERA's mission control monitor the crew 24/7,
just like on the International Space Station. Crew members conduct research in the habitat
while they are also the subjects of research into the effects of isolation on humans.
Have questions? Great! Through NASA's HERA Groundlink series, you can get your questions answered by
crew members currently living in the habitat. Submit your questions on HERA's website today!
