Cooking on the Hi-Seas

The Hawaii Space Exploration Analogue & Simulation (HI-SEAS) project will study how best to feed astronauts en route to Mars and after they arrive.

Instant Meals

The HI-SEAS participants will be eating a mix of instant meals and foods they cook themselves from shelf-stable ingredients.

The HI-SEAS mock Mars habitat will include basic kitchen tools such as a small stove, oven and microwave.

Cooking from Scratch

Cornell University

The HI-SEAS participants have varying levels of cooking experience. A number describe themselves as typical engineers who've hardly ever cooked before. But everyone may need to help out in the kitchen on Mars.
