Medical-technical experimental facility

Medical-technical facility of SSC RF – IBMP RAS is meant for simulation of conditions of life and activity of the crew, that are maximally close to the conditions of real spaceships, for support of conduction of the experiment simulating a space flight, including interplanetary one, with the duration of not fewer than 500 days with the crew consisting of 4-6 people.

The facility consists of several experimental units (EU) including:

1. Module EU-50.

Module EU-50 with the total volume of 50 m3 is meant for simulation of the landing Martian module with staying in it of 3 crew members during 2-3 months, and it includes:

- living quarter, that includes 3 berths and  working zone;
- kitchen;
- lavatory;
- two transfer tunnels with hatches for passing into the module EU-150 and into the lock chamber of the simulator of the Martian surface;
- life support systems.

2. Module EU-100.

Module EU-250 with the total volume of 250 m3 is meant for storing of food stores, installation of the experimental greenhouse, disposable plates and dishes, clothes, etc., it includes:

- freezer for storage of food products; ;
- store-place with shelves for storage of food stores that do not require special conditions of storage, and disposable plates and dishes, and clothes;
- room for experimental greenhouse;
- gym;
- lock chamber  for giving away waste;
- three hermetical doors – one for connection of the module with the transfer tunnel into the module EU-150, two hermetical doors with metallic stairs at the ends of the module for pre-launch loading of food stores;
- life support systems.

5. Module “Simulator of the Martian surface” (SMS).

Module SMS with the total volume of 1200 m3 is meant for simulation of the Martian surface, and it includes:

- simulator of the Martian surface that is a non-hermetical chamber meant for staying of the crew in space suits, isolating from the environment;
- hermetical stairs and caisson separating the SMS module from the module EU-50 and having storeroom for storage of the space suits, wardrobe and a transfer tunnel.
