NASA studies stress relief for astronauts to Mars

Stress will be the biggest obstacle on human path to Mars in the next 20 years.

NASA studied how to reduce stress for astronauts on Mars

The biggest goal in the present time of NASA and many other aerospace agencies worldwide is to bring people to Mars.

NASA's SLS missile and vehicle system is expected to bring people to Mars.

It will be a journey full of human hope, but psychological and physical pressure will be immense . Astronauts will spend a long time living in tight spaces, millions of kilometers away from their families, not to mention the difficult, time-consuming missions. Plus the zero gravity environment, all these stressors can make astronauts tired, sad, lack of energy and sleeplessness.

In the new video called "Mars Challenge with People: Stress," NASA affirmed that "The mission to Mars will be more stressful than any previous task".

Currently, the US Aeronautics Agency is researching how astronauts on the ISS space station perform their tasks and interact with each other in tight environments. NASA is also working to understand the impact of long-term space travel on people, through two astronauts who are on a 1-year mission on ISS.

NASA is currently testing habitats for Martian astronauts.

New technologies that help astronauts sleep regularly and fight fatigue are also being studied. Another important issue being explored by NASA is the ability to take astronauts into deep sleep on a 180-day journey to Mars. Finally, the agency is also investigating the effects of the gravityless environment on the brain and the human body.
