4th of November 2011 is the finish of the experiment on simulation of a manned flight to Mars (“Mars-500” project). After the exit out of the experimental facility six crewmembers will be in observation regime (without a possibility to communicate with media), during which they will pass a thorough medical examination.
Completion of the experiment and the crew exit out of the facility will be transmitted on-line through the satellite. In the case of any questions, related to the technical issues and parametres of providing a signal (the signal itself is free) please, contact to senior Planning Manager of the RT channel Murat Gavasheli (tel.:+79152183354).
Press-conference with the participation of crewmembers and the project management will be held on 8th of October 2011, at 12.00, in the conference-hall of Russian news and information agency “RIA-Novosti” (Moscow), and we invite media to this event. Here are phone numbers for media accreditation in “RIA-Novosti”: +7(495)637-5019. The accreditation will start on 31st of October 2011.

On August, 14 Mars500 crew will overpass point of 438 days.
This date is significant because it is just the same period of time (more accurately - 437 days 17 hours 59 minutes) that our space physician Valeriy Polyakov (instructor-cosmonaut-researcher from the IBMP cosmonaut corps) spent in weightlessness at the board of orbital station “Mir”. By the way, up to now this record registered in Guinness Book of World Records was not broken.
