CHAPEA, or Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog, is a ground-based mission at the agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

While "63 days is a long time to wait for the results of a flight, the data coming in indicates all is well with the first aircraft on another world", the mission officials said in a statement.

NASA's X-57 Maxwell all-electric aircraft project will conclude aircraft operational activities by the end of September, with documentation and close-out activities continuing for several months afterwards.
