U.s. air and space agency NASA and Lockheed Martin are making an important work for the plan to explore Mars around the year 2030: study the menu for the astronaut. Scientists are testing a type of pizza served mission to explore Mars.Scientists are testing a type of pizza served mission to explore Mars.Most people think that scientists are always looking for ways to improve technology and training of the astronauts to survive on the "red planet", but they were mistaken. In fact, the most important thing when starting a mission to explore Mars is preparing food.Because the food is the first thing that people need to survive should the scientists to research the best menu for the astronauts.The menu must ensure conditions such as enough for a group of 6-8 astronauts, helps them healthy and happy, and also are diverse. It is not a simple task because Mars is very far from Earth so the astronauts take 6 months to get there, stay more 18 months and took six months to return.The tasks that contain plenty of challenge, something else would work you are going to buy food for his family enough for 3 years at a time and have enough food to be prepared in advance for that period."Many other Mars because it's so far away," Ms. Maya Cooper, a scientist of Lockheed Martin, who is leading the effort to build the menu for the astronauts explore Mars, said."We have no choice is a means to that for 6 months and food supply as we still do for the international space station (ISS)," Mrs. Cooper said. Scientists are testing a type of pizza served mission to explore Mars.A trip to Mars probes scheduled to take 30 months, thus preparing the menu for the astronauts never simple.The astronauts to the ISS usually have more choice about the type of food available for them, about 100 options. But for use in non-gravity environment, food for ISS astronauts are prepared very thoroughly, dried with expiry date is at least two years.But on Mars, where there is less gravity, NASA is considering significant changes in comparison with the menu on the current universe.A solution that scientists are considering is developing new methods to the scientific planting vegetables served them while are on Mars. Thanks to little gravity environment, crew can build "Mars greenhouses", where they can plant the ruined the fresh vegetables and carrots. Thanks to them, the food fresh and will be beneficial to the health.However, if you do so, the astronauts can waste too much time on taking care of greenhouses and cook instead of studying Mars. Therefore, the scientists believe that the best approach is to put all the food being prepared and fresh food on the menu of the astronauts so they can save time.Ms. Cooper for or capable of NASA will also select one astronaut to prepare meals for the group.Currently, one of the biggest obstacles for the research service menu the astronauts explore Mars's tight budget situation. The budget proposed by President Barack Obama in February salmon has canceled a joint mission of the United States of America and Europe to launch the train up Mars years in 2016 and the rest in the NASA budget was also cut.Bà Michele Perchonok, nhà khoa học thuộc dự án công nghệ thực phẩm tiên tiến của NASA, cho hay cơ quan này thường chi khoảng 1 triệu USD cho việc nghiên cứu và xây dựng thực đơn sao Hoả mỗi năm.Bà Perchonok hi vọng rằng khi sứ mệnh khám phá sao Hoả tới gần hơn - khoảng 10-15 trước vụ phóng - ngân sách dành cho NASA sẽ tăng lên, cho phép thực hiện cuộc nghiên cứu sâu hơn về thực đơn sao Hoả.Nguồn: AP
