"During the eight-month HI-SEAS Mission V the crew will perform exploration tasks such as geological fieldwork and life systems management," the University of Hawaii said in a statement (http://www.hawaii.edu/news/2017/01/09/hi-seas-mission-v-crew-preparing-to-enter-mars-simulation-habitat/).* Read more...
