Human Mission to Mars

Earthbound experiment to recreate stress of Mars mission

Scientists are being asked to submit research proposals for a 500-day-long study simulating a human mission to Mars. The 1.5-year Mars-500 simulation is designed to recreate some of the isolation and stresses that crew members might feel on an actual roundtrip to Mars, which would take about twice as long.
