a manned mission to mars will come to an end on friday and also you spoke to the head of the project to find out what's been learned and that interview is coming up next here. you know what mr merkel of thank you very much for being with us to mars five hundred a year idea. and it's close to its completion experimental crew members are about to walk out of this chamber or whatever how does it feel it's in seventeen months are you nervous. cardinal and of course i'm anxious we will more anxious though when they just walked in now we're looking forward to the end of the

experiment of course such extensive isolation will require the crew to spend some time in rehabilitation but will be hard work for us to analyze the results the very fact that the team managed to stay the course is a source of delight. in the. ground and the very start there has been much controversy over marse five hundred just casually among professionals i mean it's people say that you can become a formula one driver by spending a year in a house any privacy ordinary people who don't know much about the experiment are likely to ask was the purpose of spending fifty million dollars to isolate six able bodied men and the rest of the world for seventeen months. and that sort of course or. the purpose is as follows the experiment has been designed to define the limits of human capacities and mission to mars is an idea that's been on people's minds for at least fifty years feasible projects and flights to the red planet were

developed as early as in the one nine hundred sixty s. then space exploration took a different course but the beginning of the twenty first century was again marked by growing interest in flights beyond the orbit flights to other planets it will put space science on a new level in terms of technology's knowledge and extend the limits of human capacities that work on the international space station is viewed as a preparation for interplanetary voyages. experiment is supposed to stretch the limits of human capacities but does it give you any specific answers right one can hemans first three smart who will be trained here to step onto its surface. with. as a friend of mine once said it's not even the first step we've only lifted off to take that first step before we decide on the equipment that we used in a flight to mars we first need to have an understanding of the limits of the human body is psychological and physiological capacities secondly we need to decide on

the amount of resources to be taken along on the way our life support system will operate during such long missions and communications between the crew and the earth will be a different ballgame and over two flights much of the work rests on the shoulders of the specialists on the ground and interplanetary mission is also characterized by autonomy independence you can't turn back it's a totally different situation and without testing and identifying the primary elements the life support system the volume of the resources needed a human capacities it's difficult to make plans even on and initial design of a few kids spacecraft research in human capacities should go before the design of a spacecraft though our scientists are quite active in designing new very. because this is an experimental facility it can serve as a model or give us the data on the real science that we needed for real flight anyway missions and mars will most likely consist of four crew not six where the

mission will need to cut the amount of resources that we take in a boat. that for. the crew members no in any case of emergency scientists and engineers here at any point unlike in space and solve the problem in a way that would be different to space conditions so does this fact devalue the scope of the experiment. more than. no it doesn't although this is a major factor on a real trip you realize that you are right and you cannot make a u. turn even if you wanted to that you will take the road back only after you've reached that goal in contrast the crew locked up here is fully aware that they're not far away from the center of moscow it's very hard to imitate this fact sam but what we can imitate is the isolation from the outside world although at the same time we seek to keep some form of interaction between the crew and the world because it's the kind of psychological support one of the limitations we've introduced was the ban on direct real time voice contacts and only

a digital exchange of information was allowed that limitation lost it for four hundred twenty days and when the voice calls were allowed again their faces grew a much brighter it raised their mood a lot before that they led a very isolated life of course like on any space mission they sought ways to vent their dissatisfaction they made friends with the ground control dispatchers they had friends and maybe even enemies but in principle this project was marked by a high level of isolation room in a lets go. where the crew motivated and encouraged a person to stay away from their relatives and friends for seventeen months if not really if you like to nurse the experiment one meeting was famous and proud to be the first to land a nurse. with a group as a profession called a test engineer and i think i can only count myself as part of this group as the people who are always one step ahead of what's actually going on in space or in the

case of an emergency so they're just. being mankind to move forward not just enthusiastic one seventeen months is a pretty long period of life but it's really loam for me too i'm among those who feel affected. but there's surely paid enough money for me if you know this is no big money in my view is it a secret. no it's not. we promise to pay three million rubles we've agreed that the amount of compensation for the europeans and russians would be roughly the same when the chinese agency employs different criteria anyway the point i would like to underline is that it's an international crew they've been many concerns that they would split into groups according to the language the chinese member is a representative of a totally different culture and ancient culture. there was a report saying that the months before they experienced schedules ending a crew member stopped writing letters is it true and if yes what are the reasons

given and a very avid wright says even though they have an opportunity to make voice calls at least with ground control they still write letters and write a lot. so they were separating. them and never there was a moment though which was during the shareholder mergence the blackout when any means of communication was cut off they didn't have access to any information and only lasted a week but you know the interesting thing about it was that they didn't complain they said they even liked it so quiet they worked in an autonomous mode they had instructions on how to behave and plan of action and what to do usually read it he just said these are long messages what's in the reputable for information channels to transmit medical data in-house information scientific information accumulated for research and experiments and the space crews private correspondence i learned that one person on the team is writing

a book i'm not sure what is to become of it but nevertheless and is a book about the experiment. yes the book is about the experiment exits of the crew's new books get published this is what distinguishes europeans from the representatives of russian culture they used to describing their experience in blogs and on live journal pages and rather naturally these publications generate massive response the writers get a lot of informational response. this week with the europeans get some feedback from the public very. happy for exactly the public sends their messages to us first and we read i break into the crude work of there are two sides to this is a positive and a negative one at the message contains some distressing reports and may trigger a negative reaction. here for. what it means to declare members and see if they knew about the war in libya you know that it's now me almost right and

where do you screen the information that's coming to them or no and there probably will be no global catastrophes or major concerns of the grove for example the news of the explosion at domodedovo international airport in moscow was not delivered to them immediately at some point i had to break the news myself in a video and they were mad at us because we had not informed them earlier despite the sadness of such reports they should be delivered on time withholding information and trigger a negative reaction of. people don't get any sunlight in the given up on their favorite our earth but some time now will come and psychological as it. is there a risk but. an effect of later he's with us and if i'm not sure about the consequences but i do know that a person needs social rehabilitation after such experiments because he practically drops out of his everyday life a quantum long time i remember one case when

a man was afraid of crossing the street after taking part in a long term experiment such things happen they were too. back to normal later of course and even cross the street running in inappropriate places i want to say is that such experience always leaves traces of a person gets used to living in a capsule is like was there it tight and again it's changes everything is fine for him but other people were there the crew over the opportunity to take their own decisions or introduce changes from time to time but all the same we really know what we will be doing in a week's time in real life and then everything proceeds according to plan we used in my from. any of the crew supers you personally and what we. give you. yes the chinese participants surprised me when i was surprised by the smoothness with which he joined the team establish good stable relations with every

crew member there are always certain tensions between people you can't help it but he made really huge progress in the course of the experiment it was always visible it again a professional russian participant surprised me too in a way i should say we made the right choices when forming the crew when there was absolutely no dictator among the participants no self-proclaimed commander they base their relations on consensus when you can talk and reach an agreement even if something has gone wrong and someone is dissatisfied it's important to be able to put the common cause and interests of a small group of people privacy your own feelings and ambitions. does anyone have a chance of changing your personal green mars. it's a question of time we don't know when it happens. question to ask but still google exposed to so many movies about mars missions that it has become almost an obsession to colleen when do you think we will finally make it to inhabit mars is

not the same thing is to perform one space trip to mars let's start with the first ship you can't colonize mars without first landing on it it is technically viable there are a number of projects an artisan is are working on them but whether we fry to mars or not depends on two things spaceflight should be authorized and international cooperation should be established because it won't pay to accomplish with one single nation or group of people but rather the entire global community at our disposal an intentional decision to leave. it no it was not intentional or overt we had applications from women candidates and in one of the preliminary tests we even had a female commander there are two things that can account for the absence of women on the team we did not make a point of the candidate sex or make distinctions between men and women we looked at the level of proficiency character traits the ability to work on a team and many other qualities. you know there are different women

but personally i would be sorry to put a woman in such conditions because a man can break his daily routine much more easily than a woman it applies to his private life family and even the professional career woman cannot afford to lose so much time she should never stop collecting coins this american thank you very much for this and she will thank you.
