This 3 june it will be one year since the Mars 500 experience started: one year since six volunteers are locked inside a sealed nest of modules at Moscow's Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP). <br />The isolated crew will stay a total of 520 days, the time it would take to fly to Mars and back, so they are supposed to be inside their fake spaceship until next 5 November. <br />Mars 500 is the most realistic spaceflight simulation possible without leaving the ground. <br />This story gives the status on the experiment with words from Romain Charles and Diego Urbina the two European "marsonauts".
