Deep Dive

Chapters
Commander Kelly Haston discusses the psychological impact of isolation during her 378-day stay in a simulated Mars habitat. While there were moments of intense isolation, the shared experience also deepened relationships within the crew. The enforced communication delay with mission control added another layer to the challenge.
  • Communication delays of up to 22 minutes each way simulated the distance between Mars and Earth.
  • Despite the close proximity of mission control, the crew had no direct contact with them for the entire year.
  • The psychological effects of isolation were complex, leading to both increased isolation and deeper relationships.
  • The question of sending couples or families to Mars is raised, considering the potential benefits for crew morale despite the challenges to crew dynamics.
