Ingénieur support des astronautes à l'Agence spatiale européenne, Romain Charles a travaillé avec Thomas Pesquet lors de sa mission à bord de la Station spatiale internationale. Il y a dix ans, il a aussi participé à une mission très spéciale. Entre juin 2010 et novembre 2011, le Mayennais a pris part à l'expérience Mars 500 : un voyage aller-retour simulé vers la planète rouge. Romain Charles est resté confiné pendant 520 jours dans une réplique de vaisseau spatial, basé près de Moscou, avec cinq autres membres d'équipage. Il revient sur cette simulation hors du commun. "La Fabrique de l'espace" est un podcast présenté par Jules Grandsire, de l'Agence spatiale européenne, qui nous fait découvrir celles et ceux qui font l'espace. Un podcast RTL, coproduit par Colby Co. / T2CS, avec le soutien de l'Agence spatiale européenne.
Diego Urbina obtuvo el grado de Ingeniero Electrónico en 2006 y una Maestría enfocada en optoelectrónica en 2008, en la Universidad Politécnica de Turín en Italia. Igualmente, en 2009 obtuvo una Maestría en Estudios del Espacio en International Space University, en Estrasburgo, Francia. En 2010 Urbina fue seleccionado por la Agencia Espacial Europea (ESA) como miembro de la tripulación en la misión Mars500, y tiene el récord mundial como uno de los 6 humanos que más tiempo han estado completamente aislados del mundo simulando un viaje espacial durante 520 días, en la primera prueba de un viaje de ida y vuelta a Marte, en Moscú, Rusia. Urbina ha trabajado en la división de entrenamiento del Centro Europeo de Astronautas (EAC) de la ESA en Colonia, Alemania: en el programa de entrenamiento CAVES en ambientes extremos, y para la Neutral Buoyancy Facility, en soporte del entrenamiento para caminatas espaciales. En Space Applications Services, en Bruselas, Bélgica, Urbina es hoy Líder de Equipo de Exploración y Proyectos Futuros, trabajando en la investigación y desarrollo de tecnologías y simulaciones para la exploración robótica y humana de la Luna, Marte, Asteroides y ambientes terrestres extremos. El equipo de Urbina lidera el diseño del payload de la ESA para la primera demostración de minería lunar (ALCHEMIST), y contribuye al Rover Lunar LUVMI-X que tiene como objetivo detectar in-situ el agua presente sobre la Luna, todo con el objetivo de detectar, extraer y usar comercialmente el agua y el oxígeno presente en este satélite terrestre para facilitar y reducir los costos de la expansión humana en el sistema solar.LinkedIn de Diego: https://www.linkedin.com/in/diegourbina/Twitter de Diego: https://twitter.com/DiegoUNuestra Web: http://interplanetario.orgNos puedes escribir a podcastinterplanetario@gmail.comInstagram: @podcastinterplanetarioTwitter: @podinterplanetaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/interplanetarioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastinterplanetarioUnete a nuestro Discord: https://discord.gg/88zhwGs9XJTwitter e Instagram de Yanina y Julio: @spacelittlegirl , @apreaConductores: Julio Aprea y Yanina HallakEdición y mezcla de Sonido: Christian AbonNotas y capítulos: Carlos Sánchez RodríguezMúsica: Geovane BrunoCapítulos del episodio:3:20 - Estudios universitarios en Italia14:20 - Estudios en la ISU.

If humans ever do manage to get to Mars, an untold number of problems will have had to have been solved to do it. From propulsion, life support, radiation and just actually landing there - there's a lot to take care of. But what kind of effect might this kind of journey have on the human body itself? What kind of changes might we expect to take place? Nicholas Brereton, a research fellow at the University of Montreal's Plant Biology Research Institute joined Jonathan to discuss. Also on the show, Jonathan is joined by Dr. Ruth Freeman and Dr. Shane Bergin to look at the science news stories of the week.

What would it take for humans to live permanently on Mars? asks Martin in Weston-super-Mare, UK. The doctors dig into requirements and possibilities of a long-term Martian outpost. We know that many missions to Mars have failed, for a range of reasons – malfunctions, crashes and even a mix-up between imperial and metric units. Getting to Mars – let alone decelerating from 30,000 miles per hour to a safe landing speed in about seven minutes – is not straightforward. Aerospace engineer Anita Sengupta helped land NASA’s Curiosity rover on Mars. She knows first-hand the challenges of putting a robot on the red planet. But getting robots to Mars is an easier proposition than doing the same for humans. Even if we work out how to survive the radiation exposure on the eight-month journey and the pulverising descent, Mars’ surface isn’t easily habitable. Principal investigator for NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission (MAVEN) Bruce Jakosky describes the conditions on Mars: Freezing, with an atmosphere containing mostly carbon dioxide and very little water, and subject to annual global dust storms. However, this isn’t deterring space agencies and private companies from researching the challenge. The European Space Agency and Russian Institute for Biomedical Problems focussed on finding out the physiological and psychological tolls by selecting six candidates to spend 520 days in a simulated spacecraft and landing module. Diego Urbina explains the personal challenge of taking part in the Mars500 experiment. Some private company owners have gone even further. As well as making technology based on the current physical conditions, could those constraints themselves be altered? Could Mars be terraformed, or warmed, for easier human survival? Bruce Jakosky shares just what that would take – and compares these requirements with what’s actually available.
In 2010, six men were locked inside a simulated spacecraft on earth for 520 days. It was part of an experiment to see how humans would cope if cooped up together for the duration of a potential trip to Mars. The crew were monitored throughout and were treated as if they were on a real mission in space, though the spacecraft was actually housed in a warehouse in Moscow. They even performed a simulated space walk on the surface of Mars. The project was set up by Russia, China and the European Space Agency.

Romain Charles participated in the longest ever simulated Mars mission, Mars500, an ESA mission in partnership with the Russian Institute for Biomedical Problems (IBMP). Six men spent 520 days in a sealed isolation chamber in a warehouse in Moscow to simulate a human return mission to Mars. Romain is also crew support for ESA astronaut corp, where he coordinates the development of space food, accompanies astronauts into quarantine, and to their launches (and some landings too). But it’s Romain’s wit and keen aptitude for storytelling, that allows us to enter his busy but never boring life.

Zero G, Brains on ice, CHIPS & Mars500... klingt vielleicht erstmal wie der "leckere Snack", dahinter verbirgt sich aber Forschung auf höchstem Nievau. Also geht es in dieser Folge nicht um Rezepte für den Gaumenschmaus, sondern um interessante und wichtige Erkenntnisse für deinen Kopf! In diesem Interview berichtet dir mein geschätzer Kollege Neurowissenschaftler Prof. Dr. Dr. Stefan Schneider, was sein Forschungsteam über das menschliche Gehirn herausgefunden haben. Und genau von diesem Wissen profitierst du! Wie wirkt Bewegung auf das Gehirn? Wie kannst du Stress reduzieren? Was hält das Gehirn jung? Du möchtest mehr über Stefan Schneider und seine Forschung wissen, dann findest du hier einige Verlinkungen zu ihm: www.dshs-koeln.de/zip www.dshs-koeln.de/denksport www.lifescience.rocks https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-schneider-664a1815/
Kesällä 2010 käynnistyi Moskovassa avaruuslääketieteeseen erikoistuneessa tutkimuslaitoksessa ainutlaatuinen ihmiskoe, kun kuusi vapaaehtoista sulkeutui 520 vuorokaudeksi metallisäiliöön. Tarkoituksena oli simuloida mahdollisimman autenttisesti menopaluulento Marsiin, ja siinä onnistuttiinkin. Kyse oli enemmänkin psykologisesta kuin teknisestä kokeesta. Miten miehistö muodostetaan? Kuinka erilaiset persoonallisuudet täydentävät ja tukevat toisiaan pitkän yhdessäolon aikana? Miten miehistöä pitää valmentaa pitkään eristyksissä olemiseen? Miten välttää tylsistymistä – ja miten pitää yllä työvirettä? Koronaviruksen vuoksi monet ovat joutuneet karanteeniin ja monissa maissa on asetettu jopa ulkonaliikkumiskieltoja. Mars500 -kokeen kokemukset auttavat nyt myös tässä uudessa tilanteessa, vaikkakin nykyhetken ja Mars-kokeen välillä on yksi, olennainen ero: miehistö tiesi täsmälleen milloin koe päättyy, mutta nyt koronatilanteen jatkumisesta ei ole tietoa. Jari Mäkisen toimittamassa ohjelmassa kerrotaan myös astronauttien vinkkejä pienessä tilassa yksin käkkimiseen.
Marnie Chesterton reveals how important the models and graphs are in informing government strategies for the Covid-19 pandemic. Christl Donnelly, Professor of Statistical Epidemiology at Imperial College London and Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford, and Dr Kit Yates, Senior Lecturer in Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath and author of 'The Maths of Life and Death', explain what epidemiological models can and can’t tell us about the progression of the disease, infection rates and death rates, and how testing will provide the essential data to make these models more accurate. They also give their take on the current inundation of social media with graphs and infographics created by non-epidemiologists - the ‘epidemic of armchair epidemiologists’. The European Space Agency’s Diego Urbina was one of the Mars500 participants. He spent 520 days in a human mission to Mars, shut up in a fake spacecraft with his fellow astronauts. So who better to get tips for home isolation from? Are you stuck in with the kids and want to try some science experiments that you can do at home? The Royal Institution is about to launch ExpeRimental Live - a live stream of home science experiments, designed to educate, entertain and inform your children with some cheap and easy science. And its existing ExpeRimental series of short films for parents are already available online. They were produced and directed by science teacher and writer Alom Shaha, who helps BBC Inside Science producer Jennifer Whyntie to have a go at making singing wine glasses with her children.

Langzeitaufenthalte im All haben ihre ganz eigenen Anforderungen und eine mögliche bemannte Mission zum Mars stellt die internationale Raumfahrt vor ganz neue Fragestellungen sowie organisatorische und vor allem medizinisch-psychologische Herausforderungen. Um letztere genauer zu analysieren und um entsprechende Rahmendaten für eine detaillierte Planung einer Marsmission zu gewinnen wurde von ESA und ROSKOSMOS das Mars500 Langzeitexperiment ins Leben gerufen. Über einen Zeitraum von 520 Tagen wurde im Juni 2010 dabei ein Team von 6 Männern in einer Raumfahrzeug-ähnlichen Situation untergebracht und wird seitdem Tag und Nacht beobachtet und medizinisch-psychologischen Tests unterzogen. Während der langen Zeit werden möglichst viele Bedingungen eines realen Marsflugs simuliert. Im November 2011 endet das Experiment.
We look back over the last few months of Astronomy interviews. We'll hear how scientists search for planets in the glare of their parent star, why a simulated mission to Mars will help us to understand how astronauts will cope with isolation, and the challenges of communicating astronomy on television. Plus, what our solar system looks like to a distant observer, and how antique globes tell the story of our understanding. Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

En este programa conocerás un sistema de localización en tu celular diseñado por chavos del Poli, las primeras pruebas de células madre en humanos, el proyecto Mars 500 para viajar a Marte y la tecnología que se aplico en un rescate nunca antes visto.
The project, called Mars500, due to start in 2008 will recreate all the phases of a mission to Mars. Six volunteers will remain confined in six modules of a mock-up ground-based spaceship: living quarters with individual cabins, an exercise room and storage area for food and supplies, a bio-medical and laboratory area and one recreating the Martian surface. The simulation will also focus on psychological aspects of such a long-duration confinement. In some respects, the Mars500 concept has many of the ingredients of a reality TV show, with cameras filming the interaction between people in all kinds of situations. But the comparison stops there. This is a serious scientific experiment, and the only way to prepare a really long-duration mission. The European Space Agency, as a 'strategic partner', is involved at all levels of this international project. Since June this year it has started selecting 12 volunteers, two of them will be part of the six-strong crew. ESA is also choosing the experiments to be carried out during their 500-day confinement.ESApod video programme
