Yesterday, March 27 began the first space mission that will leave for 1 year in the International Space Station three astronauts, Scott Kelly, Mikhail Kornienko and Gennady Padalka .
The Soyuz capsule, which was responsible for the transfer of the astronauts, started from the Kazakh Baikonur at 20:42 Italian to reach, after 6 hours, the ISS, allowing newcomers to embrace Samantha Cristoforetti, Terry Virts and Anton Shkaplerov.
It is a mission which will be analyzed in the annual changes that astronauts undergo in weightlessness: in particular the results of Scott Kelly will be compared with its sister , Mark , left to Earth, as both have the same DNA and then you can have a more complete picture about the effects that the human body undergoes in weightlessness .
These analyzes are very important because will help scientists to better organize and without any danger to humans of space travel much longer, for example, those directed to the Moon or Mars.
