French researchers using Covid-19 lockdown to study space travelExperts are studying 60 student volunteers who are confined to their dorm rooms

French space scientists are using the COVID-19 lockdown as a dry run for what it will be like to be cooped up inside a spacecraft on a mission to Mars, The Independent reports.

Researchers are studying 60 student volunteers who are confined to their dorm rooms in the southern city of Toulouse after the French government’s decision on 14 March to lock down the country.

Space researcher Stephanie Lizy-Destrez, Associate Professor of Space Systems Engineering at ISAE-SUPAERO, an aeronautics and space institute, decided to make the most of a negative situation and signed up the students.

The idea is to see how they react over time to the kind of conditions they might experience during a long space mission.
