Measures only eleven meters in diameter and six meters high, and will be home to six people for a year. Outside there are only rocks, and if you want to walk around them, they must do so wearing a spacesuit. This is the new experiment of confinement for future NASA missions Marte.http: //es.gizmodo.com/nueve-tecnolog …

The drill station is located in the desolate foothills of the volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii, a place that the agency has already chosen before such experiments for long-term isolation. The last mission of this type, the Hi-Seas III, concluded successfully after another team of six people spent together eight long months.

The current team consists of an astrobiologist, a physicist, a pilot, an architect, a journalist and a geologist from different countries. The aim of the experiment is not only sharpen the internal

design of a future habitat for use on Mars, but also detect and coexistence psychological problems that may arise. At the end of the day, the crew of this mission will have to live for a year with virtually no privacy and in a very small space. [Via BBC]
