The studies will also allow researchers to recommend strategies for crew composition for such missions, and to determine how best to support such crews while they are working in space.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming missions will be conducted at the <a href=\"http:\/\/hi-seas.org\/\"><span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> Space Exploration Analog and Simulation<\/a> (<abbr title=\"Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation\">HI-SEAS<\/abbr>) site, an isolated Mars-like environment on the slopes of Mauna Loa on <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> Island at approximately 8,200 feet above sea level. Crewmember participants will live in the same modern geodesic dome habitat that successfully supported five long-duration <abbr>NASA<\/abbr>-funded studies including a year-long study of team cohesion that garnered <a href=\"http:\/\/hi-seas.org\/\">national and international media attention<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><abbr>HI-SEAS<\/abbr> Mission VI was cancelled February 26, after one of the four crew members withdrew. Institutional Review Board (<abbr title=\"Institutional Review Board\">IRB<\/abbr>) investigations into an accident that happened earlier at the habitat are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Principal Investigator Kim Binsted said, &ldquo;The <abbr>IRB<\/abbr>&#8217;s gave us permission to reopen recruitment right away, just not to go ahead with the next mission. Because recruitment takes several months, we thought it best to start that process now, even though we don&#8217;t yet have a firm start date for the next mission.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>Applicants must be between 21 and 65 years of age.

They must meet the basic requirements of the <abbr>NASA<\/abbr> astronaut program (i.e., an undergraduate degree in a science or engineering discipline, three years of experience or graduate study, etc.); in addition, they will be evaluated for experience considered valuable in the program, such as experience in complex operational environments.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How to Apply<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/forms\/z9ItTgzTwhVGomPJ3\">The deadline for applications is April 2, 2018<\/a>.
