The European Space Agency is looking for volunteers to take part in a 520-day simulated round-trip to Mars, starting in 2010 the crew will have to live and work inside a sealed facility located in Moscow for nearly two years.
Starting in 2010, an international crew of six will simulate a 520-day round-trip to Mars, including a 30-day stay on the martian surface. In reality, they will live and work in a sealed facility in Moscow, Russia, to investigate the psychological and medical aspects of a long-duration space mission. ESA is looking for European volunteers to take part.
