NASA released a long-term plan to land a man on Mars

Literally every year since seredny 20th century, humankind heard that through 5-10-30-50 (substitute its value) years to land a man on Mars. On this subject, published plenty of books, projects are landing on TV Dozens tematichnyh television.

Until recently, of landing a man on Mars could say "and things are there." Now the situation has changed: the state and private business became seriously interested in a similar mission.

And recently, NASA has published its own very detailed and long-term plan of the project. You can see how some of the steps of the mission, which we have heard before, now folded into a single and clear picture.

So, on the first stage , which is already in progress, scientists are studying the reaction of the human body for a long stay in space. Of course, such an experiment is carried out on the ISS, and for a long time. Astronauts use a variety of techniques to keep the body and mind, and scientists, to return the team to the ground to carry out tests on muscular atrophy and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Experiments are conducted on Earth. For example, NASA is paying $ 18 thousand volunteers who spend in bed exactly 70 days.

As far as everything goes smoothly.

The second stage - deep space. This step is even more interesting last. It is planned to capture an asteroid and send it to the orbit of the moon.



The astronauts then (in 2020) will be sent to the asteroid at the largest of all working ever space rocket, at Space Launch System.

During the mission, the team of astronauts will test new spacesuits, and new technologies. If all goes well, the astronauts return to Earth with samples of the asteroid.

The third stage - the continuation of the study of Mars robots. For example, it is already beginning to be realized Mission Mars 2020. In 2020 it is planned to collect rock samples on Mars, for further examination. In addition, the new devices will be tested and new technologies.

Well, in 2030, NASA will be ready to launch a manned mission to Mars. Although it is - just the beginning, the first step before jumping into deep space.

Let's hope that these plans do not interfere, nor the possible economic crises, nor, especially, the war.
