In 2016, two astronauts
completed the International Space Station mission duration of one year. NASA
astronaut Scott Kelly (Scott Kelly) and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko
during the stay at the station were under the close supervision of doctors who
monitored the smallest changes of the physical
and psychological condition of
the astronauts.
NASA has positioned
this medical experiment as part of their program "Journey to Mars (Journey to Mars), in which planned to send man to Mars in the 2030s. However,
in a new study conducted by a research team headed by Konrad Shotsikom (Konrad
Szocik) from the University of Information Technology and Management in
Rzeszów, Poland,
"We can not
simulate exactly Martian conditions in the world, I am referring to such
features as the Mars microgravity or cosmic radiation - Shotsik explains. -
Therefore, we cannot predict the physical and biological consequences of human
life on Mars. "
He denies the
possibility of recreating "the dangers of traveling [to Mars] at one end
of the" on-board the International Space Station, or even in the
Antarctic, often becoming the place in which the simulated space conditions.
According Shotsiku flight to Mars requires special training astronauts - the
changes their bodies and mind.
The scientist believes
that the modification of the senses with the help of electronic or special
medications can help alleviate the emotional reactions that can run wild at a
meeting future Martian colonists with unexpected dangers.
In addition, Shotsik
draws attention to the problem of the reproduction of the Martian settlers as
inevitable incest among the colonists would lead to a significant deterioration
of the gene pool. As the scientist, to the threat of extinction of the Martian
colonies due to genetic diseases can be ruled out, the colony must have at
least 500 settlers.
The study is published
in the journal Space Policy.
