The incident took place in 2010. Six people were detained for 520 days in a spacecraft-like space. But that vehicle was not in space. Was in this world. It was an experiment aimed at gaining an idea of how astronauts could survive during an expedition to Mars. This experimental Mars mission from Earth was named Mars 500. Was run in the Russian capital, Moscow. It took about a year and a half. Diego Obina, one of the participants, said: "We weren't sure what effect it would have on our physical and mental health. I didn't know exactly how to respond in such a situation. I was very interested to know that. He is an aerospace engineer. He had just finished work as an apprentice at a European astronaut center in the late 2000's. At that time Diego saw a fancy advertisement. It was looking for some volunteers who would be trapped in a fake spacecraft on this earth. But not for a day or two. For 520 days. What does it feel like to spend a year in space? Photo: How to see Mars How many successful missions to Mars have been successful? Russia, China and the European Space Agency jointly conducted the experiment to isolate several people for the same amount of time it would take them to get to and from Mars. Diego Obina said: "My dream was to work on space.
About 40,000 people applied to take part in the test. Only six of them were selected: three Russians, one French, one Chinese. And Diego is an Italian-Colombian. All of them have studied engineering or medical science. On June 3, 2010, they were put into a mock spacecraft. It was inside a huge warehouse in Moscow. Diego said the first day they felt like very small people. It seemed like how could we live in such a place for so long! But gradually I started to get used to this environment. Three square meters of space was allotted for each person. There was a living room where I could rest in my spare time. There was a separate dining area. At one point in the day, we would all get together and talk. There was a place to keep medicines. Another place was to keep food. There was also some equipment for exercise. There was also a small greenhouse. Who made this mysterious hole in a different space station to see the Indian wind from space? Earth is safe for 100 years from asteroid impact: NASA volunteers are coming out of the arranged space after being isolated for a year and a half. In this experiment, they were placed in such a way that it seemed as if they had actually taken part in the Mars mission. During this time they will run tests, receive messages from the control room, and receive messages from loved ones. They will even land on the surface of Mars.
At that time, their physical and mental condition was being monitored all the time. Regular tests were being conducted. They also had to give some physical samples for testing. We had to collect urine every day or every few days. Blood and saliva had to be collected every month. From these it could be understood what kind of hormones are being produced in the body due to mental stress. The samples were packed in a container and then sent to scientists, said Diego Obina. During this time some unforeseen events also took place. They also had to deal with some urgent situations. Citing an incident like this, he said, "They told us there was a fire outside. The power supply was cut off. All the lights went out. Some of the fridges were turned off. The support system was not working. The air purifier was shut down. We wanted to know how long we could survive with the air inside. It was calculated that there was enough air to survive for a few more days.
But later they found out that no such situation had actually arisen. It was part of this experiment. Returning from space, the capsule contained a fragment of an asteroid from a spacecraft brought from the Rayugu asteroid. Diego Obina smiled and said, "They said it was a sort of thing. At first we didn't believe it. We thought it really happened. To calm us down they might now say it's sorted. It took weeks. Here they spent months after months. There were no windows. There was no sunlight or wind. When there was no work, they would spend time reading books, watching movies, playing video games. But the monotonous life was the biggest problem. The most difficult problem for me was the lack of social diversity. There was no opportunity to meet someone new. There was no friend. There was no difference of opinion or tone of voice.
Eight months later, three of them had to take part in a test to land on Mars. Diego was one of them. For this they are kept in a lander for two weeks. They then landed on the surface of Mars in a space suit. The surface of Mars was created by throwing a lot of sand in the warehouse. But they all thought it was Mars. After eight months inside the four walls, we saw such a big place in front of us which is completely different. But it seemed like the best place. After being isolated for so long, it really seemed like we were walking on the back of Mars. They later joined the other three to return to Earth from the bosom of Mars. They became depressed when they realized that this would take them a long time. But as time approached, tensions between them began to grow. Diego said: "I thought the world might have changed a lot, people don't know how things are now. What would I do when I got back?
The mission came to an end in November 2011 after being in space for about 18 months. The house was opened and one by one they started coming out. I have never been so excited in my life. They opened the door. We got out of there. A group of people stood in front of us. They were waiting for us. Diego said there was a strange feeling. Because we haven't seen any people for a year and a half. When I saw them, they did not seem to be my real people. I got to see my family again. This is the first time I've seen a dog see the sun again. This is the first time I saw a baby. It was a special moment, he said. Two volunteers landed on Mars from the arranged space. We may be able to understand at least a little bit of isolation due to the coronavirus epidemic. But what did Diego learn from the one and a half year lockdown? I have learned a lot about my life. Things I wanted to learn all my life, like drawing, some Russian. At this point I fell in love with the world. I was overwhelmed when I saw a tree. Small things like saying hi when you see someone, it seems important to get acquainted with strangers. After returning to Earth, I realized how important it is to be together with other people in society, "he said. Diego Obina says he no longer wants to be separated again.
