For the commander of the Soyuz spacecraft, Sergei Volkov, who returned from space, the work is completed, and for Scott Kelly and Mikhail Kornienko it continues.
After a year-long expedition to the ISS, scientists will subject them to Earth tests, which should show how efficient the human body is after a long stay in zero gravity.
The experiment with Mikhail Kornienko was developed by specialists of the IMBP RAS and is called "Constellation".
The main goal is to confirm that a person is able to live and work normally on another planet after a long space flight.
