According to NASA, some devices already meet the requirements that are required for a manned flight to the planet

NEW YORK, January 18. /tass/. The systems necessary for the life support of the crew during the flight to Mars can be debugged on the International Space Station (ISS) by 2030. This was announced on Tuesday by Robin Gates, Director of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for ISS issues.

"Life support systems are being developed for the exploration of Mars. I think we can achieve reliability indicators [to ensure the life of the crew] for Mars by 2030," the portal quotes her as saying. spacepolicyonline.com .

Gates, as reported by the online publication, added that some devices, for example, the water purification system at the station, already fully meet the requirements for a manned flight to the planet, however, it takes some time to form an understanding about other systems.

In the spring of 2019, NASA announced a three-stage project of the Artemis lunar program. At the third stage, the US Space Agency expects to deliver astronauts to the moon, and then send them to Mars.

The timing of individual stages of the program's implementation was constantly changing due to various difficulties. Until recently, NASA insisted on continuing preparations for the landing of people on the lunar surface in 2024. Last year, the director of the department, Bill Nelson, admitted that these plans were technically impossible. He stressed that the previous deadlines will have to be shifted at least until 2025.
