NASA Groundlink: Q&A with Crew Isolated in HERA Habitat (C6M1)

Crew members Christopher Roberts and Madelyne Willis, from HERA Campaign 6 Mission 1, answer questions from students across the nation. NASA’s “Groundlink” series connects students with crew currently inside NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA, a habitat here on Earth. Through simulation of long-term human space travel, these crew are on a mission to help scientists learn more about how isolation, confinement, and remote conditions will affect astronauts on Artemis missions to the Moon and on future missions to Mars. Similar to educational Downlinks, which connect students with astronauts aboard the International Space Station, Groundlinks give students the opportunity to ask HERA crew their questions. Through the crew’s answers, students can learn more about how NASA prepares humans to live and work in space. Students can submit questions to analog crew members on HERA’s website: https://www.nasa.gov/analogs/hera NASA Groundlinks is a collaboration between NASA’s Human Research Program, or HRP, and NASA STEM Engagement. We’re launching STEM Engagement to new heights with learning resources that connect teachers, students, parents and caregivers to the inspiring work NASA is doing. Join us as we apply science, technology, engineering and mathematics to explore space, improve aeronautics, examine Earth and strive to land the next man and first woman on the Moon with the Artemis program.
