the goal to understand fully that if you have to live a. life stories from. nineteen forty five don't. welcome back our view of the week on our t.v. investigators say they know the identity of the suicide bomber who killed five people. but on naming the twenty year old north caucuses none for racial reasons meanwhile russia is considering a new terror alert system and security stepped up nationwide on presidential orders . the key nuclear arms can steal between moscow and washington is to come into force within days after the start treaty receive the final seal of approval from both sides the world's two biggest nuclear power plant exchanged documents and

munich late this week to allow weapons production work to begin in earnest. and the world attention is focused on egypt as the nationwide uprising against president hosni mubarak continues despite over one hundred deaths in clashes with police and chaos including mass prison breakouts some believe they were bold and there is similarities with the recent khaled revolutions in former soviet states. up next we'll take a look at the latest scientific efforts in man's quest to reach was able to show the means that could get as their. strange. hello invoking the technology of today we're often on a bit of a different beat than our colleagues here in our newsroom and while they work

together to bring out today's breaking news we're going into complete isolation to prep for the future of long term space exploration. if you takes two years roundtrip to get to mars and back could you stand the test. if and where did you train for a dad kind of mission and the end of an ominous corridor in the basement of a siberian institute. and throw away the key. future of cramped space recycle their recycle waste. there's no way it would our mission failure mission failure is not an option you sit in your cube and watch your only food grow slowly you dream of the day you'll see solid ground

a sunny sky where the people you love the most. case so it's not a nightmare it's. the brainchild of scientists at the institute of bio physics in krasnoyarsk they started preparing the facility for habitation by crews of so called by a nots back in one thousand nine hundred sixty five plant life was already an area of expertise for the institute and they were selected for the prestigious project by cindy cut deals widely acknowledged as the father of the soviet space program. from the beginning the idea was to create a manageable ecosystem to research the ability of people to live under basic ecologically balanced and maximally self-sufficient condition. ject of establishing a scientific and technological foundation for long term space travel to the moon to mars and perhaps beyond.

to deep theoretical understanding of the link between man and his surrounding environment. is constructed a world in miniature people will live for six months isolated from the great. little world consisted of totally just three hundred fifteen cubic meters one room was living space with birds for the by nots and the only airlock for limited communication with the world outside. were devoted to plant cultivation mostly regenerative crops like wheat and vegetables to keep the crew well fed in the final room for growing the chlorella algae that helps regulate oxygen and c o two levels in the experimental environment. you. know we are entering the room where the test crew lived in complete isolation for a year. this is a living module with. three individual births where they could spend some time on

their own. through with. this. the equipment to regulate the regeneration process the fields three environment. the bio not said about their work within the complexes walls there was plenty more to be done on the outside this was no siberian survivor project was backed by d'souza government with forty million bucks in today's. money has its initiators expected results valuable to the future of space exploration the amount of oxygen in the corella driven regeneration system was monitored closely completing a full cycle every fifty three days the team inside participated in in self administered testing passing data to the outside for analysis they gave regular blood samples strapped into monitoring devices even while sleeping and followed

instructions from the experienced directors at all hours of the day intercom contact was maintained at all times peak performance was achieved in one nine hundred seventy two and seventy three when the longest lasting live in crew spent one hundred eighty days inside overall the system hosted nearly two decades of manned experiments and three decades of ecological testing an amazing volume of all unprecedented work. in the regeneration module that's where the funnel is going to food oxygen and water and it's basically a greenhouse for high plants that were grown on a special substrate of serum side it's kind of construction material very poorest and capable of holding moisture and signs so that the clones roots could do without also for a long time to. plant growth was in many ways the lifeline of the b o six pyramids crops had to be carefully selected to produce the desired yield in the desired time frame and exhaustedly shielded from contaminants and negative

biological interactions that might spoil out put in ruin the project. by an arts raised literally put the bread on their table in the neighboring roofs and other basic crops grew right alongside the truth of meat derived fats and proteins they succeeded in closing off wealthy a third of their food production. this part of the facility helps you understand how the system slicing what it was it was a vital fans of facilitating the process of photosynthesis and this without photosynthesis there would be no oxygen or food and you could. choice at the time was in on lamps produce a sufficient amount of light and ecologically clean with no ill effects. thanks to its numerous benefit this. remains a key element for the life support system. we can't just swap it for something else . before the shift we must pick a new source of lighting which is not a trivial task i think the best one we're working on at the moment. that's

just one of many modernizing tasks underway at the facility today with the russian economy recovering from the soviet union's collapse in a renaissance in european interest in the unique resume out of the lights are turning back on. the go into the modernized regeneration module for the production of food oxygen and water. with financial support from the siberian branch of the russian academy of sciences and the european space agency where upgrading the system. among the problems to be solved increase the radiation generated by new powerful sources of light which we need to intensify allston generation plant growth and transpiration of water. there's a network of senses that help us keep track of the process from the main control room. you know monitor the in teria system parameters we can also electronically

transmits all these data not just to our scientists here but any other research institution elsewhere in russia. that information is of particular interest to a barcelona based project under the auspices of the european space agency. this so-called micro ecological life support alternative is to use the right mix of clay and some bacteria. medium and long range species missions over at least some of their hefty supply load. and i was involved in the first of this to get there. and for the moment. in different parts. different countries they're going to use as a. loud for the moment. here for example

instead of a. very big experience and experiments if he wants insight. so . to begin so for them it's very interesting to know all. head to head so it's a very interesting experience for them. similar oxygenated. astronaut. trusted in a system designed to produce one hundred percent of their oxygen twenty percent of . it's going to be something like. other planets like mars. and also. the flight. station. in the flight. and the.

human space exploration. and been predominantly supplied from specialists agreed to reach the red planet with the mission to prove the company by biological system the longer and more complicated the mission the bigger the ecosystem will have to pack with us. eleven minutes in solitary confinement starting to feel if the excess of isolation. thank you i'm not totally alone but we're learning this is a serious psychological component that has to be considered. drastic change in my condition. really weak. didn't feel like doing anything my

dreams of. i dreamt of a giant black jumping on my chest i tried to. break away into. trying to strangle the scapes a very dreadful dream. in a cold sweat. not the only one driven in big daddy by these experiments in enforced inclosure. institute of biomedical problems i am b.p. set up a closed system running parallel to the one nine hundred sixty s. only with total space cut down to twenty four cubic meters and various extreme conditions introduced to stretch the participants to breaking point also raise the bar on the length of the project three participants spent a year from november one thousand nine hundred sixty seven to one thousand nine hundred sixty eight inside the three men were eventually allowed into a small adjoining greenhouse but there was far less emphasis on self sustenance.

was specially selected to include one biologist to tend the plant life one engineer to handle. and one doctor to keep them all healthy concerns about oxygen and c o two levels in the closet size cabin crew. stacked bunks every ten days to spread out the negative effects of sleeping on the bottom there was never enough food but the men worked hard to stay healthy and happy to emerge at the end. difference between the experiments of the institute of physics and the ones here. on the study of the life support system for. that's why the close was a small one. the oxygen production was in. cold clear. the six experiments from one to two months with individuals living in sealed environments. or was this same species used in b.o.'s

three cultivator chosen because of its phenomenal photosynthetic performance its daily oxygen output has been measured at some one hundred times its volume so a small stash made breathing easy but further tests showed it could not be did just it as human food. three and the experiments to choose a unique basically tree in the world has been able to replicate them now in the twenty first century i am b.p. has another unique set of experiments up in sleeves meet mars five hundred a string of increasingly long simulations of various segments the entire trip to the red planet the first of three planned parts to the ground based project kicked off in two thousand and seven and first with soley russian participation now to the success of that short fourteen day test run in these modules two thousand nine hundred five day phase two full attention of space agencies and researchers from

around the globe as well as the participation of french and german crewmembers the crowning accomplishment of the experiment was always intended to be the five hundred twenty day simulation of the flight to landing on and return from mars. mars five hundred has four modules totaling five hundred fifty cubic meters is mostly for storage of dry and refrigerated foodstuffs but also has greenhouse space and exercise equipment another is specially designed for medical and scientific experiments both of these connecting the main module with berths for the six participants the central control room kitchen and common spaces from here three crew members will pass into the landing module. for simulated descent to the red planet in addition to this space ship the facility includes a twelve hundred cubic metre space modeled after mars surface with a linen crew will test a new mars rover. just see these people. every day the same faces.

in the space. is very. interesting. the team has a russian commander surgeon in physiologist french and italian engineers and chinese professional astronaut. will spend the next seventeen months in each other's close company when the hatch was sealed behind them on june third two thousand and ten they were off on the world's first full length mars flight simulation of course they may feel miles away but they're being observed from the command center unlike the experiments mars five hundred simulates the communication delay associated with distance space flight a message and response takes forty minutes. they're keeping some of their focus on work but also trying to enjoy them so. the mars five hundred team runs a beta version of the bridge interactive life support system cosmonauts and

astronauts need. fresh air to survive but they also produce waste including solid waste. impure air n c o two everything apart from solid waste can be recycled into the system in an impure process to become a potable resource again the contaminants particles are filtered and air returns into the ventilation system c o two could be broken down to generate water and water to provide oxygen. three of the crew members will encounter a simulated version of a life support system in the beginning of february when they entered this landing module to prepare for a valentine's day touchdown there on the other side of a sealed hatch and final preparations to the mars landing vehicle my. still in process so we get a last minute chance to peek inside and see what awaits them in addition to assuring a safe set down on mars make believe red rocks they'll be in charge of regulating the vital settings of their own environment while the control room throws up

a series of potential failures and warnings within the system. this is the main screen of the life support system reflecting all the characteristics of the closed environment just you can use the software to simulate any emergency condition with. a fire aboard the ship. system immediately sends a voice command to inform the crew of the emergency situation and the need to handle this is to will help the crew to track down and solve the issue in automatic mode at least support systems that will be mounted on future mars missions space ships. any manual operations. part of the future is already in use on mankind's biggest space achievement to date the international space station now in orbit with humans on board for more than ten years the massive satellite has been the base for testing

a whole generation of new space equipment including regenerative support systems. the international space station uses oxygen generation equipment. its lifespan was said to be about a year three hundred sixty five days. thanks to his reliable operation it was decided to use the device onboard as long as it could last. for three years which means its lifetime is three times as long as we expected. but what are they doing to make sure us needy humans last that long up their space. microgravity tested and no water needed so what do you say. it is produced in a special laboratory in the same institute of biomedical problems and plays host to

mars five hundred and there's more than hair care on the minds and shopping list of those heading outer space hygiene in general needs an orbital overhaul given the specific constraints of life inside a microgravity bubble. since water can't be trusted to go down a drain and is certainly unwelcome floating around all the expensive equipment forget about pollutants sense and products containing alcohol since you can't open the window to clear the air through space explorers toiletry bags is an altogether separate industry instead. the institute of biomedical problems is the only medical center which develops and produces personal hygiene and cleaning products especially for cosmos. i went towels have found truly widespread demand. saturated with a special lotion and are very easy. also we've got

unique items not provided by our western counterparts yes when you look at a product to keep your mouth clean and healthy it's which is basically a goddess cat. like sarah to be placed on your finger or to. it's made only in russia that is a popular among astronauts from around the world. quite often for their trips to the international space station. on board shorter missions may allow for some typical comfort foods to come along but if you really want to stay stocked supplies have to be packed for the long haul cosmonauts need the same nutrients but it will look like a steak or a salad from earth. normal your favorite variety. to bits with their handy food processor mix in some yogurt and stick it in the sublimation of it. for

you. along side the university of applied biotechnology across town to whip up speed specialties with the right nutrition balance for high flying groups as a method of preservation freeze drying food has been with us since the mid twentieth century made for all kinds of extreme or isolated conditions not just for novelty gifts like space ice cream what's different about this sublimation process is the inclusion of probiotics that you know is a bacterial culture they gets mixed in with our apples and other provisions to help us obtain the proper dietary mix keeping us healthy without the benefits of diversity we're used to with earthly luxury taste not that bad either. join to experiment with the. technology to assess the performance of the next generation of. try to create dairy products. just bacterial strains

to my knowledge this will be the first experiment in the world. we're talking about here. this new practice will grow your own individual bacterial strains and feed them back to you to maintain your healthy diet with no allergies or rejection with the justice system supplemented by probiotics. aspects of your physical well being to worry about. making sure. way in space leaving astronauts and cosmonauts on a long road to post flight recovery on earth gravity's effects holding us and maintaining basic body strength by giving us wheat. space so i am b.p. and other researchers have to manufacture methods of combating the muscular atrophy and bone deterioration facing our space travelers. if one of the problems with staying in space for a long time is no feeling yourself weighed down enough to get any muscle exercise

this is a pretty exaggerated solution but that's literally what it takes liking gravity as a source of body loading tension exercise in space has to create artificial sources of resistance otherwise i assess crew could pump a massive iron without ever getting buff like arnold. specially made suits also provide an important passive method of mobility resistance since space missions are hyper cision operations with serious demands on the crews time this ping when three suit developed and i am b.p. turning every minute into a bit of body building. those some with some of the shells in the south of the starting from the only nine hundred seventy s. and then two recently we didn't have the means to measure the load weight of the huge in something small enough the rule of thumb for pulling up and tightening the rubble towards the end was the close minutes own feelings had to move around constantly and that the same time as some perceptive to load late in the eleven and

then on those. two days playing when three isn't involved version of that earlier space suit now with sensors offering the ability to control precisely the amount of force applied by the elastic cables as resistance against various muscle groups the basic design has been preserved allowing for passive and minimal activity toning on front and back upper and lower body muscle sets. and that elderly people of people recovering from strokes could experience the same disruptions in physical activity as close minot's a few and in the rebuild to achieve a positive effect but here's ings useful cushman not to have billy taste we should get a similar effect with the disabled and the elderly of the various cells glorious down being that they. do need for food. rehabilitation these suits can provide is truly great as russia suffers one of the world's highest rates of stroke recurrence

but strokes are impacting ever younger demographics worldwide meaning there are more survivors who need step by step assistance and retaining their physical strength. russia is the only country in the world that has come out with this treatment texting of course we've been testing this suits for more than five years and have developed differentiated methods do you consider various groups of movement disorders and for various groups of patients we have success stories with full rehabilitation of mobility and mental ability after the use of the region see what patients were able to return to work and their families and enjoy the same life as before their stroke. based on the same principle new technology is being extrapolated to help disabled patients in pre-game dilatory phases of their recovery process instruments stimulate the nerve endings in the feet the control or walking muscles slowly reminding the brain what it takes

a new lease on life from extraterrestrial origin the struggle for survival and research in space. even if it brings us all together new ones and it might make more money. with the right focus it won't be long till we're on our way that's all for this month join us for more on the next technology if we manage to make it out of here and. enjoy the ride. we use special oafish an accessory quick moment. they are ready for every night. taken off one. became their got any. visits to the those people with goods in the previous life.

and one to so many in a free flight.
