Planet Mars. A series of incredible images have been published by NASA to show the whole world what it is willing to do to reach the celestial body so far from Earth for the first time. What you see in this article are astronauts testing on a glacier in Iceland the new spacesuits that NASA will use when it sends them to the planet Mars for exploration, but that in more than a decade.
Planet Mars. MS1 is the name of this spacesuit that NASA is currently testing, and apart from the glacier, the astronauts also entered a volcano to see how well its materials withstand. NASA allowed not only the astronauts, but also other Icelandic researchers, and not only, to test the spacesuits that will be used on the planet Mars, or maybe even on the Moon, in a first phase, a decision not yet taken.
Planet Mars. INCREDIBLE NASA IMAGES that STUNNED the World
Planet Mars. The suit is not yet finished, and is in the testing phase, and those who tried it there discovered some problems that will have to be solved before its use in outer space. The images themselves show us how amazing the environment in Iceland is, but also how much it can resemble what the astronauts will find on the planet Mars, which is practically the purpose of this very daring NASA experiment.
Planet Mars. Even if the atmosphere is different, as is the gravitational force, the astronauts could get an idea of what they will encounter on the celestial body if they use these suits. Those from NASA, and not only that, usually use locations like this on Earth to test equipment before sending them into outer space, and as the planet Mars will be reached in a few years, it's time for testing.
Planet Mars. NASA is constantly testing a lot of equipment that it offers for astronauts, so we will definitely see more images of this kind in the not too distant future.
