A tense situation among the members of an isolated base in Antarctica and astronauts against the clashes in a long-distance journey to Mars.
South African Antarctic research base, Sanae 4Located in the eastern Antarctica. This is home to a nine-member team, which consists of five months isolated during the doctor, scientists, scientists and tough, dark southern winter.
It was reported to have somethingOne change between one of the members and the leader resulted in the claim of death threats and sexual harassment. Names were not released. According to a statement from the officials of the South African governmentThe team passes through mediation and the accused was officially apologized. The statement said the issue was resolved and the team does not need to be evacuated.
Among people living in the extreme isolated and spent, this type of conflict is a concern for the planners of a longer human mission for Mars. Traveling to a red planet will take a way for about seven months, using any existing technology. After the crew came, he expects the place to come into orbit because he is like Mars for a return trip, which is around the orbit, waiting for the place to orbit.
Then it will take more than six or seven months to travel home. This is a 1000-day trip journey, depending on how much fuel is ready to burn.
During the whole journey, the crew is completely at its own, and the spacecraft in the inter-painting space and the spacecraft will be up to the surface of the surface of Mars. If an emergency is happening, a rescue mission, optimized, a few months away. Isolation is aggravated by a communication retardation. It can take 20 minutes to cover the distance between a radio signal, Mars and the earth.
No one spent this long time. Called an experience in Russia Mars 500 Simulated such a mission in a closed residence on earth. This exercise examined the psychological factors of isolation and physical changes did not take place, if the ambulance arises, everything they had to do and came out. Martian researchers will not be this option.
Between the International Space Station (ISS) groups, large research is aimed at the physical effects of long-term space flight, such as loss of calcium, muscle atrophy and vision problems in the bones. Many of these issues can be compensated daily training while in space.
NASA also examined psychological health questions in ISS, even if it is not for an overgoing length of the Mars mission.
We can learn more with more experience than recent events. American astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore It’s back to the ground this week After closed space in the space station within 286 days. Their return was postponed after the new Boeing Starliner spacecraft began in the last June.
However, both astronauts flew in space before and endured flights for a long time. During the waiting in space, they participated in the station operations, including in space facilities. Surely it would be very interesting to evaluate the mental welfare during the absence of an unexpected longitude.
The guarantee will reach Mars and live in the enemy environment. Consider the suffering of Spacech during the problematic development of the top stage of Starship, which allows Mars to travel to Mars. The first two flights resulted in magnificent showers of missile parts on the Gulf of Mexico.
However, local trips will also require extensive psychological training and choices to ensure that a missile before a rocket before a missile for many travel.
