NASA completes mission simulation project to send people to Mars

A group of six international scientists completed a mission simulation program to Mars after a year of living in complete isolation in Hawaii.

Research to explore human factors when traveling astronautically funded by the US Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) is the longest program since Russia conducted a similar study. during 520 days.

From August 28, 2015 to now, a group of six scientists - including a French space biologist, a German physicist, a pilot, an architect, a reporter and a researcher geologically American - lived in a sphere of 11m in diameter, 7.3m high, without clean water, fresh food and no private space.

Each person has only a small sleeping hammock and a desk. Foods include powdered cheese and canned salmon. In addition, they also have to wear astronauts when going outside the sphere and must find ways to avoid personal conflicts.

With such extraordinary survival, team members believe that a mission to Mars similar to their simulations this time may also be successful.

Mr. Cyprien Verseux, a member of the team, said that in the near future, the mission to Mars could become a reality, and the psychological and technological difficulties can be overcome.

Meanwhile, another member of the research evaluation team is an important base for the crew selection process, understanding how people actually work on different tasks, along with elements of space travel, or whatever scientists are trying to answer.

With NASA's current technology, a robot (robot) can be taken to Mars to perform space exploration missions within eight months. However, experts say astronauts can perform this task for 1-3 years.
