The British Institute of Biomedical Sciences and the European Space Agency (ESA) are in the process of selecting candidates. The selected people will " travel " in the spacecraft in central Moscow (Russia) for a year and a half. 250 days journey to Mars, 1 month on Mars and 240 days for a trip back to Earth.
The spacecraft for this simulated expedition consists of about 550 m 3 small compartments with the same environment as on a long journey on space.
Mark Belakovsky, director of the Mars 500 project, said: 'We want the candidate to be healthy, professional and persistent.' According to Dr. Belakovsky of the British Institute of Biomedical Sciences, candidates including men and women aged 25-50 and doctors will be given priority.

In the spacecraft, ' astronauts ' also face weightlessness, radiation phenomena, changes in biology in the body . When ' flying ' to Mars they will have to transmit signals to the Left. land.
After ' landing ' on the surface of Mars, astronauts will split into 2 groups, living in 2 different compartments within 1 month. Water and food are prepared in advance of ' flight '. Alcohol, tobacco and male and female relationships are prohibited during the ' expedition '.
Dr. Belakovsky said that the real expedition to Mars could hardly happen before the second half of the 2020s. In 2004, US President George Bush said it was NASA's long-term goal. While ESA hopes people will come to Mars in 2035.
