Simulation complex
NASA has started selecting candidates for a project to simulate life on Mars. This is a special simulation mission, during which several people will live for 12 months in a special complex "Mars Dune Alpha".
The complex maximally corresponds to the conditions in which future colonizers of Mars will find themselves. Its area is 160 square meters, it is equipped with equipment for work, life support, scientific research, communication, physical activity, growing crops, etc.According to NASA representatives, simulated isolation has never been so realistic. In the new project, literally everything is thought out, including delays of communication signals over long distances. In total, three long-term missions are planned: in 2022, 2024 and 2025. As for the requirements for candidates, they must be absolutely healthy, have a scientific degree or experience in piloting jet aircraft, and be between 30 and 55 years old. The data that will be obtained during the study will be used to organize a real flight to the Red Planet.
