Six participants in the Mars-500 simulation of a manned mission to the Red Planet demonstrated team spirit and unity during the first month of the project, a Russian scientific institute that conducts the experiment said.
The Moscow Institute of Medical and Biological Problems started the 520-day experiment on June 3. The project is due to simulate almost all aspects of a journey to the Red Planet, with a 250-day outward trip, a 30-day stay on its surface, and a 240-day return flight.
