Participants in studies at NEK experience environmental aspects similar to those that astronauts are expected to experience on future missions to Mars. The pressurized facility can accommodate large international crews and operate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/feature\/nasa-seeks-us-citizens-for-ground-based-simulation-of-life-in-space\">long-duration missions<\/a> of more than one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NEK is located within the Institute of Biomedical Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
