The Russians are performing experiments and tests in preparation for sending a space crew to Mars. They are preparing to conduct a full scale simulation in which 6 crew members (2 Europeans and 4 Russians) will live as if they were traveling to Mars. The final simulation will last from 520-700 days during which the members will conduct their daily lives in accordance to how they would in an actual trip to Mars. They will experience "space flight" conditions, use tools and equipment, and follow strict diets and exercise routines. Their simulation is titled Mars-500.
