For 105 days, a six-man crew called an isolation chamber in Moscow, their home. The crew simulated a Mars mission full of experiments and realistic mission scenarios. US participation consisted of three research teams with experiments evaluating solutions to conditions that impact work performance: lighting interventions to counter shift-work sleep loss, tests measuring the impact of stress and fatigue on performance, and assessing interactions between crew members and mission control.
