Russia tried to fly to Mars 500 on the ISS Station

The experiment of modeling interplanetary flight 'Mars-500' will be repeated in space conditions, specifically on the ISS International Space Station, the common home of the US, Europe, Japan, Canada and Russia. .

This information was recently announced by the head of the Russian space agency Vladimir Rosovosmos, Rian .

Popvkin said, "Маrs-500" is useful for long flights into the universe in the future. Therefore, Roskosmos seriously considered this ability to repeat this experiment in space conditions and mentioned this issue with partners NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) about the implementation on the Station. ISS international space, the common home of the US, European countries, Japan, Canada and the Russian Federation. NASA and ESA agreed in principle.

The objective of this project is to obtain empirical data on the health status and workability of a crew in conditions of isolation from the world for long periods of long flights.

The experiment adapted to the conditions of a flight lasting 520 days and nights on the Red Planet successfully and ended on October 4, 2011 at the Institute of Medical and Biological Problems, under the Russian Academy of Science and Technology . An assuming international crew of many countries, headed by Russian test astronaut Alexey Sitev. The role of the team doctor was entrusted to Sukhrob Kamolov. Roman Charles was a Frenchman (undertaking the engineering duties of the flight), and the Spanish Alexandr Smoleevsky, Italian Italian Urbina and Chinese Wang Yue were doing scientific research.

However, Mr. Vladimir Popovkin also added that manned flights to Mars are difficult to implement before 2030 - 2035 because of a series of conditions such as a very strong energy supply, safety protection measures For crew in flight, especially anti-radiation . unresolved.

On the other hand, they will be very expensive, so 'No single country can do that,' Popovkin said.
