There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

On October 1, four people began living and working for 45 days inside a unique, ground-based habitat at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Designed to serve as an analog for isolation, confinement, and remote conditions in exploration scenarios, this small habitat is called the Human Exploration Research Analog, or HERA. Among those chosen for the backup crew is Justin Lawrence, a Ph.D. student studying planetary science and astrobiology int the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. Lawrence is also a fellow with the Future Investigator in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology program (FINESST).
