A tense situation between the members of the isolated database in Antarctica can predict the among the astronauts, at the distance to Mars.

Southern African Antarctic research base, Sanae 4:Located in a remote location in Antarctica. It hosts a nine member team, which consists of a doctor, scientists and engineers who spend 10 months in isolation cruel, dark in southern winter.

It is reportedThe change between one of the members and the leader led to the alleged physical attack, death threats and sexual harassment. Names were not released. According to the statement of South Africa State OfficialsThe team is petition, and the accused person wrote an official apology. The statement said that the issue is considered solved, and the team should not be evacuated.

This type of collision between people living in extreme isolation and limited quarters is a matter of concern for Mars many longer mission planners. Travel to the Red Planet using any currently available technology, one way will take approximately seven months. When the crew arrives, they will have to stay alone there for almost another year when the earth reaches its own orbit, so it's on the same side of the sun as Mars.

Then he will last another six or seven months to go home. It's a common round trip from 750 to 1000 days, depending on how fuel you are ready to burn.

During that time, the staff will be fully independent, limited to their spaceship in the interplanetary area and the settlement on the surface of Mars. If an emergency, the rescue mission is optimistic, many months away. Isolation is exacerbated by a connection delay. It can take up to 20 minutes for the radio signal to cover the distance between Mars and Earth.

No one has ever spent so long in space. In Russia, an attempt was called Mars 500 Such a mission likened to the settlement on earth. The exercise studied the psychological factors of isolation, and while no physical changes have taken place if an emergency has arisen, everything they had to do. Martian spies will not have that option.

Between the International Space Staff (ISS), great research has been concentrated on the physical effects of a long-term space flight, such as loss of bones, muscles, and vision problems. Many of these problems can be reimbursed in space with daily exercise.

NASA also studied ISS psychological health issues, despite the extreme lengths of time, which took place on Mars mission.

We can make more understanding recently with unattractive experience. American astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore Returned to the country this week 286 days after turning at the space station. Their return was postponed after their new Boeing Starliner spacecraft occurred when they started in June last year.

However, both astronauts used to fly in space many times and endure long flights. While waiting for them in space, they participated in the operations of the station, including spacecraft to keep busy. Of course, it would be interesting to debropheal them to assess their mental well-being since the country during a long absence.

It will be difficult to find hardware equipment to reach Mars and survive. Just think about the distress of the universe during the troubled development of their stellar stage, the vehicle that can travel to Mars. The first two flights have led to impressive shows of rocket parts, on the Gulf of Mexico.

But the interplanetary journey will also require an extensive psychological training and inspection to make the staff ahead before they walk near the rocket.
