"Unprecedented Experiment: 6 Individuals Sealed in Isolation for 360 Days"

Six individuals have entered the Russian Academy of Science's SIRIUS-23 project, where they will be sealed in isolation for 360 days. This joint endeavor between NASA and the Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP) aims to study how the human body and mind adapt to long-duration spaceflight missions. The crew will simulate a lunar mission while undergoing various biomedical experiments, including studying their ability to cope with technical malfunctions, the physical consequences of extravehicular activity, and the psychological and social ramifications of isolation. This mission is unique as it is the first monolingual isolation experiment for IBMP and does not include any American participants.
