RUSSIAN scientists have admitted that they are training monkeys for an ambitious mission to Mars – and it leaves in just two years.
Earlier this month, the Russian space agency announced that it would launch a new manned mission to the moon, with the plan of setting up a permanent human settlement within the decade
The animals are being trained for three hours a day so they can travel safely into space alone
The animals are being trained for three hours a day so they can travel safely into space by themselves and eventually land on the Red Planet by 2017.
The monkeys are rewarded with a drink of juice if they perform well
At the end of their training the monkeys should be capable of completing a daily schedule of tasks on their own.
Monkeys helped pave the way to the Moon – and Russians are hoping they’ll do the same for Mars
Animals have long been used to test out conditions in space before humans have a go
The scientists even hope the monkeys themselves could teach others macaques the skills needed to fly the mission.
Leading expert Inessa Kozlovskaya said: “What we are trying to do is to make them as intelligent as possible so we can use them to explore space beyond our orbit.”
