Looks like Russia is pulling ahead in the race to mars. While countries like Japan have announced a moonbase by 2030, Russia is taking the first step to mars by simulating the trip, complete with mock disasters and equiptment failures.
The goals of the simulation is to study how such a deep space mission would impact the crew’s health. Along with monitoring the crew's health, they will also test capabilities for remote diagnosis and treatment via video links, organize crew activities and work to prevent any negative impacts prolonged spaceflight would have on human health.
