Mikhail Kornienko and Scott Kelly have been in orbit for 4 months, this is exactly a third of their journey, because the expedition is planned for a year.

Cosmonauts conduct a lot of scientific and applied research in the field of physics, chemistry, medicine, geophysics.

Mikhail and Scott told the correspondent Natalia Burtseva about what has already been done and what is planned next during a communication session that took place in the Mission Control Center.

Preparations for the launch of the Soyuz TMA-12M manned spacecraft are underway at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.

The crew consists of Oleg Artemyev, Alexander Skvortsov and Stephen Swanson.

There are only a few days left before the start.

The crew will make the 119th manned flight of the Soyuz spacecraft and the 38th flight to the ISS, conduct 50 scientific experiments during 175 days of the expedition and return to Earth in September, handing over the orbital watch to their understudies.

The Institute of Biomedical Problems has resumed a scientific research program with the participation of monkeys.

In our country, not only dogs were sent into space, but also primates, however, much later than it began to be done in the USA. The help of monkeys was needed when scientists began to think about long-term space expeditions.

Today, a team of 4 primates has been formed in IMBP, which is involved in various experiments.

Mikhail Kornienko and Scott Kelly returned to Earth after a year-long expedition to the ISS, where they conducted dozens of complex biomedical experiments.

The heads of Roscosmos and NASA met in Moscow to discuss the first results of the joint project.

Mikhail Kornienko stayed in Star City to complete the ground part of the experiment, and the ExoMars spacecraft was sent to Mars from Baikonur.

Times are changing, the technical equipment of orbital stations and probes is changing, and scientific experiments are becoming more difficult.

The main goal remains unchanged: to bring humanity closer to the development of the Solar System.

The joint Russian-European project "ExoMars" is at the final stage.

The start of the first expedition is planned in the spring of 2016, the second - in 2018. The Institute of Space Research is creating instruments that will be installed on the modules of the interplanetary station, their main task is the search for extraterrestrial life.

The search is not limited to the nearest planets.

According to scientists, the most amazing places in the Solar System where life is worth looking for are the moons of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.

Sergey Saveliev, Director of the ExoMars program at Thales Alenia Space (France) Walter Cunho, Alexander Trokhimovsky, Georgy Managadze, Igor Mitrofanov, Alvaro Jimenez, Leonid Xanthomaliti talk about unique scientific instruments.
