Future Mars astronauts will have plenty to contend with if they are ever to make it to the Red Planet. In perhaps one of the most well-known experiments to simulate a trip to the planet, Mars500 had six men spend 520 days in a pressurized facility in Russia – the longest simulated space mission to date. The purpose was to test how well the men could cope with extended periods of isolation and confinement.
