METHOD OF CONDUCTING GROUND-BASED EXPERIMENT, WHICH SIMULATES MANNED FLIGHTS TO MARS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G7/00 G09B9/00 

FIELD: transportation, cosmonautics.

SUBSTANCE: method includes a stage of adaptation and acquaintance with the aircraft (1 day), and also simulation of the flight stage: in a spiral trajectory in the gravitational field of the earth (2-50 days), along the heliocentric orbit to the environment of Mars (51-200 days), along a spiral trajectory "spiraling" in the gravitational field of Mars (201-246 days), along the near-Martian orbit with descent of the takeoff and landing module on the surface of the planet and returning to the aircraft (247-278 days), on the spiral trajectory "pre-rotation" in the gravitational field of Mars (279-319 days); along the heliocentric orbit to the environment of the Earth (320-470 days); along a spiral trajectory in the gravitational field of Earth (471-520 days). On the indicated simulation stages, the participants of the experiment are subjected to the effect of their environment, characterised respectively, by the first, second, third, fourth, and further (from 279 days) - respectively third, second and first values of the information parameters. Ambient pressure is the used parameter. Possibility of docking and undocking of the aircraft with the orbital station is provided, and also the takeoff and landing module with the complex, imitating the surface of Mars, changing of the trajectory of the flight when changing from one orbit to another, going to the surface of the planet.

EFFECT: increase in the length of the experiment in conditions close to the real conditions, increase in the reliability of the functioning of the experimental complex with full isolation of the internal volume of the module.
