Johnson Space Center in Houston brings crews to an asteroid without ever leaving the building. HERA – the Human Exploration Research Analog – is one of several analogs used by the Human Research Program to research ways to help NASA move from Lower Earth Orbit to deep space explorations. An analog is a situation on Earth that produces physical and mental affects on the body similar to those experienced in space. Some crews stay in the structure for as long as 30 days. See this NASA analog in 360-degrees here.
