One hundred days of solitude

Six volunteers spent 105 days in an isolation module as part of an international experiment in preparation for a manned space mission to Mars. Under constant surveillance, the all-male crew carried out 72 different experiments to gather data in readyness for a mission to Mars. All the key aspects of a long spaceship flight were simulated - barring of course the effects of weightlessness and solar radiation, which are more easily researched on the international space station.
