Kim Binsted at HI-SEAS habitat on Hawaiʻi<\/span> Island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kim Binsted<\/strong>, principal investigator for the HI-SEAS project<\/a>, presents Hawaiʻi<\/span> Space Exploration Analog and Simulation, on Thursday, March 19, 11:30 a.m. in Hamilton Library Room 301 as part of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa Faculty Lecture Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HI-SEAS (Hawaiʻi<\/span> Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) is a habitat on an isolated Mars-like site on the Mauna Loa side of the saddle area on Hawaiʻi<\/span> Island at approximately 8,200 feet above sea level. Here, crews of six people live and work through long duration simulations of Mars exploration missions (four-, eight- and twelve-months long).<\/p>\n

Binsted will address critical questions regarding preparing for extended space exploration, including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • How should the crew be selected?<\/li>\n
  • What skill sets will they need?<\/li>\n
  • How should they be trained?<\/li>\n
  • How can we best monitor their physical and psychological health?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
