Boris Morukov, a Russian spaceman and doctor who was a unprecedented experiment within which volunteers simulated a flight to Mars whereas never going a Moscow park, has died at sixty four, his scientific institute same weekday.
"We announce with grief that Boris Morukov died suddenly on Christmas Eve," Moscow's Institute of medicine issues, wherever Morukov was deputy director, same on its web site.
Morukov, a doctor and a former cosmonaut, was project director of the new Mars-500 simulation, in which a global team of six men spent 520 days in isolation to simulate a flight to Mars.
The experiment, that began in 2010 and resulted in 2011, was organised collectively with the European space Agency and also the Institute of bio medical problems issues.
The experiment simulated the period and isolation of a return journey to the Mars, even as well as "walks\" on a pit replicating the Martian surface and 20-minute time gaps in communication with outside.
The international team of 1 Chinese, one Italian, one Frenchman and 3 Russians spent the complete amount in an exceedingly 180-square-metre wood-lined complex within the carpark of the Moscow institute.
"Everything that we have a tendency to got out of this, each the positive and maybe the negative, without doubt are often utilized in designing a true Mars flight,\" Morukov same after the experiment all over.
Morukov earlier led a series of experiments into the results of long-term weightlessness on the human body. within the most extreme experiment that started in 1986, a group of eight men spent 370 days lying in canted beds to review the impact on their bone mass.
Born in Moscow, Morukov studied to become a doctor before undergoing coaching to become a specialist in space medicine. He additionally trained as a astronaut at the Gagarin training center.
In 2000, he was a crewman on a flight on the U.S.A. space shuttle Atlantis to organize the International space station for its initial permanent crew.
Morukov "will always stay in our hearts as a talented scientist, a brilliant organizer and a kind, helpful person,\" the Institute of biomedical problems said during a statement.
