Mars Test Volunteer
Share

(XINHUA)

Chinese space researcher Wang Yue, one of the six volunteers for the 520-day Mars-500 test project, stepped out of a spaceship mock-up on November 4 to share his experience with the public.

The Mars-500 experiment, humankind's first simulated flight to Mars, aims at providing feedback for a potential future trip to Mars and to study the astronauts' psychology and physical state and work capabilities in a simulated Mars mission. The experiment is a large-scale international effort organized by Russia with participation from a number of countries.

During the "Mars trip," Wang, along with other volunteers, conducted 105 experiments, collecting data for research in physiology, psychology and microbiology, and offering evidence for deeper study in aerospace medicine.

"The experiment was very successful. My colleagues and I have stood the challenge and have a better knowledge for human beings' ultimate capacity in an isolated environment," said Wang.

Wang, 29, received his bachelor's degree in Preventative Medicine at Nanjing Medical College in 2005 and his master's degree in Physiology at the Astronaut Center of China in 2008. He is now an assistant astronaut trainer at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
