Today 6 men will be mesh in a modest space capsule together for three months to test the psychological effects of a prolonged space flight of stairs . Because a trip to Mars might take a year and a one-half to three long time , this test just scrapes the open of the potentially harrowing experience of know in a tiny space with five relative strangers for years .
To enhance the realism of the tryout , the mental test subjects – include Russian cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev and Sergei Ryazansky , along with two Europeans and two other Russians – will have all the food and supplies they need packed in with them . They can lend personal impression like books , DVDs , and laptops , but all communications with the remote universe will be time - delayed by 20 minute , just as they would be if their ship were in Martian orbit .
Each “ spaceman ” will have a tiny personal space to sleep in , and the ship comes equipped with three rooms . One is for aesculapian isolation , one for nutrient supplies , and one for “ be , ” including the six personal spaces and an recitation area . The entire “ ship ” is 19,500 cubic feet .
The crew will often outwear biosensors so that researcher can monitor their brain activity . If this trial is successful , NASA will start a test at the close of the year to isolate 6 people for 520 days .
Despite the fact that men and women have been living together on the ISS for years , no women are being tested . Huh ? patently outside quad agencies are expecting sexist policies to go on for at least two decades into the future , when a crewed Martian trajectory is design .
