Europe to Join 500-Day Mock Mission to Mars

The European Space Agency (ESA) will partner with Russian researchers in a simulated mission to Mars.

The spaceship mock-up will include areas for research, medicine, living, and a kitchen, having a total area of 200 square meters, connected only by narrow passages. A special tank will be provided to represent a descent vehicle for travel to the Martian surface.
