from their website: 
The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), owned and operated by the Mars
Society, is a space analog facility in Utah that supports Earth-based
research in pursuit of the technology, operations, and science
required for human space exploration. We host an eight month field
season for professional scientists and engineers as well as college
students of all levels, in training for human operations specifically
on Mars. The relative isolation of the facility allows for rigorous
field studies as well as human factors research. Most crews carry out
their mission under the constraints of a simulated Mars mission. Most
missions are 2-3 weeks in duration, although we have supported longer
missions as well. The advantage of MDRS over most facilities for
simulated space missions is that the campus is surrounded by a
landscape that is an actual geologic Mars analog, which offers
opportunities for rigorous field studies as they would be conducted
during an actual space mission.
