4 Women & 2 Men Locked In An Isolation Room For 365 Days: Know Details Here!
In a cosmic twist blending reality and sci-fi, six daring souls have willingly locked themselves away for an epic 365-day isolation escapade. Welcome to the SIRIUS-23 mission, where four stellar women and two brave men are pushing the boundaries of human patience and will!
Yes, in a ground-breaking leap towards understanding the human challenges of deep space travel, six Russian volunteers have embarked on a year-long simulated space mission as part of the SIRIUS project.
Hosted by the Institute for Bio-Medical Problems (IBMP) in Moscow, the SIRIUS-23 crew will endure 360 days of isolation, mimicking conditions of a deep space journey. This one is similar to the Mars 500 mission taken by four Russians, a Frenchman and a German back in 2009 - but the team was all men - and now, we have four!

The SIRIUS Project's Evolution: Four Stages
SIRIUS-17 (2017): 17 Days
The inaugural stage laid the foundation for subsequent, more extended missions.

A significant leap in duration, testing the crew's endurance and adaptability.
SIRIUS-21 (2021): 240 Days

Is NASA involved?
What is a space journey without NASA, right? While the SIRIUS project is a joint initiative with NASA's human research program, budget constraints have led to NASA's non-participation in the SIRIUS-23 mission.
Nevertheless, NASA remains active in other Earth-based analogs, such as CHAPEA and HERA, pursuing both domestic and international opportunities to advance research for future human spaceflight missions.
