Scientists isolate a year for the flight to Mars – Dni.Ru

15:37 / 17.08.2015 Hawaii, space, Mars, scientists An international team of scientists will conduct a year in isolation, simulating a flight to Mars. Six experts, including soil scientist, physicist, engineer, biologist, physician and architect, will live in complete isolation from the outside world on the slopes of a dormant volcano in Hawaii.

The organizers hope that experiment will help to prepare the first manned flight to Mars , which NASA expects to realize in 2030-ies. It does not randomly selected and place of the experiment. His landscape volcano Mauna Loa in Hawaii resembles the Red Planet.

“The longer it becomes each mission, the better we understand what risks related to space travel “, – quotes the TASS project scientist Kim Binsted.

It should be noted that, since 2013, it will be the fourth group of scientists, doom themselves to imprisonment in the autonomous complex in Hawaii. The first two groups of hermits lived there for four months, the third – lasted twice as long. A new stage in the whole year long to begin Aug. 28.

In particular, it will continue to study the medical and psychological problems that can confront the crew are sent to rendezvous with the red planet. To this end, participants in the experiment in Hawaii will implement a fairly complex program of scientific research, while being under the constant supervision of specialists. Scientists will monitor their wards using cameras installed inside the complex, and the various sensors attached to their bodies. They can go outside only in space suits.
