First One-Year Mission

 For the first time ever there will be two men who will be sent into space for one whole year. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and Russian Federal Space Agency Cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. Both astronauts are staying in space for a long duration to get more data on changes of the human body in space. NASA understands the potential challenges these two men could face while in space. NASA officials hope to use the International Space Station as a test bed for understanding how long the space flights can affect the humans psychologically and physically. The astronauts will take part in many experiments to see how the one year mission in space affects their eyes,bones, and other body parts. As of right now Kelly will monitor 19 shared space station experiments on the human body for NASA.
