Cosmonautics. "Sirius-19" (2019)

The Sirius-19 experiment is being prepared for launch at the IMBP RAS. An international crew of 6 people will spend 4 months in isolation during a virtual flight to the moon.

The tasks of the expedition are landing on our satellite and building a lunar base.

Few people know that the first such experiment was conducted back in 1967, it was called "A Year in an Earth spaceship".

For 366 days in a row, three volunteers lived and worked in a large barrel simulating an interplanetary ship.

And as studies show, psychological risks are no less important than the risks to the physical health of participants.
