American National Research Authority outer space is preparing for a unique experiment, which will allow to study the behavior of the human body with long stay in orbit.
Astronauts Mark and Scott will take center stage in the study. Kelly, who are identical twins and, of course, having same DNA. Scott will be sent to the International Space station, but his brother Mark will not leave our planet. For the first time in NASA history, an American astronaut will hold in space whole year.
Scott Kelly is a former navy pilot, currently getting ready for their fourth mission to the ISS. Nonetheless, the revolutionary nature of the planned American study lies not at all in the duration of a person in orbit.
Mark Kelly is also an astronaut, but it will be important it is his stay on Earth. The first of its kind experiment will allow us to study genetic changes in twins, one of which lives a normal human life, and the other is located in zero gravity at the space station.
NASA conducted the preparation for the experiment no less than twenty years. During this time, the office has collected an enormous amount of data on physical and psychological condition of the Kelly brothers. Comparing in Further, these indicators are the twins who lived in the last year in completely different ways, Americans will make up the whole picture of how being outside the earth affects the human body.
An eventual experiment to study called the “twin paradox,” implying the departure one of them plow outer space on huge speeds and, again, the abandonment of the second on Earth. In theory the space traveler must be much older during this time less than his brother or sister. To such studies, humanity not yet ready, but anything is possible in the future.
