Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does the official source support the opportunity identity, status, timing, eligibility, and access constraints?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Is the proposed fit specific and proportionate without implying availability, invitation, selection, or funding?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   What deadline, rule, jurisdiction, cost, conflict, or accessibility fact would change the proposed next action?

Explicit exclusions

• Review does not submit, register, apply, contact, commit, purchase, or establish eligibility.
• Provider prestige and apparent fit cannot replace current official terms.

Requested controlled scopes: ecosystem-due-diligence, opportunity-eligibility-access

Frozen-evidence decision window: 30 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

   Kind

   Research participant / analog mission

   Timing

   Recruitment is ongoing. NASA states that the first four-person Moon and Mars Exploration Analog mission will begin no earlier than August 2027 and asks selectees to consent to approximately fourteen months, including twelve months in two confined habitats plus pre- and post-mission training and data collection.

   Fit

   Long-duration habitat operations, human factors, crew health, isolation, resource limits, and integrated analog evidence

   Status

   active; ongoing recruitment

   Verified At

   2026-07-26

   Current Until

   2026-08-02

   Eligibility

   NASA lists U.S. citizenship or green-card status, an age range of 30–55 with possible exception review, height no greater than 74 inches, English proficiency, technical skills, no dietary restrictions, no history of sleepwalking or sleep-aid use, astronaut-like education or experience, multiday selection, and NASA physical and psychological assessments. The official recruitment page and application process control all criteria and determinations.

   Access Notes

   NASA states that selected volunteers will be reimbursed and will live and work in isolation and confinement while simulating transit and surface operations. Applying entails consequential health, psychological, privacy, employment-leave, accessibility, research-consent, and life-planning considerations. The listing is informational and is not advice to apply or evidence that any person is eligible, safe to participate, likely to be selected, or able to withdraw on assumed terms.

   Founder Action

   Index and study the public protocol as a high-value analog precedent; do not apply, recruit another person, submit health information, or imply NASA affiliation without separate explicit authorization and independent medical, psychological, research-ethics, privacy, accessibility, employment-leave, and consent review.

   Evidence Boundary

   NASA's official recruitment page supports the ongoing deadline, no-earlier-than August 2027 start, four-person and one-year mission design, approximately fourteen-month consent period, reimbursement statement, and published threshold eligibility and assessment criteria. It does not establish any person's eligibility, medical suitability, selection, informed-consent outcome, accommodations, privacy consequence, continued availability, or relationship.

   Relationship

   indexed only; no formal relationship

   Action Status

   proposed; not undertaken

   Conflicts

   Human-subjects research, medical and psychological assessment, health privacy, accessibility, isolation, informed consent, employment leave, selection power, and public-agency relationship language require independent specialist and participant-protection review.

   What Would Change

   A NASA amendment to recruitment status, mission timing, protocol, consent period, eligibility, reimbursement, privacy, withdrawal, assessment, or accommodations, or an independent research-participant review, would change this assessment.

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
2. Finalize a separate output file.

   node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
     --input DRAFT.json \
     --output COMPLETED.json

   This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

3. Validate the packet and completed copy.

   node check-review-decisions.mjs \
     --packet PACKET.json \
     --decision COMPLETED.json

   Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
