The expedition will include six people: Anna Kikina, Elena Luchitskaya, Natalia Lysova, Ilya Rukavishnikov, Mark Serov and Viktor Fetter.
Scientists will observe how the crew will behave in conditions of almost complete absence of contact with the Earth. It is also planned to study such things as the distribution of roles, the dynamics of leadership and intergender interaction. In addition, new psychological support systems will be tested.
