An exterior view of the isolation facility at the Russian Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow. The facility is host to the Mars500 study that will help us to understand the psychological and medical aspects of long spaceflights.A 500-day mock mission to Mars may seem to some like an elaborate stunt, but the ongoing experiment — which has now "landed" on the Red Planet — has great potential to help prepare future astronauts for a true interplanetary trip.
