King's College London is overseeing the White Mars Analogue Study on the first ever winter crossing of Antarctica. In December 2012 members of the expedition team, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes Bt OBE, undertook a series of tests at King's which measured their fitness, body composition, muscle strength and immune function. Professor Steve Harridge, Director of the Centre of Human & Aerospace Physiological Sciences, explains how findings from these tests could provide insights into the challenge of sending a manned mission to Mars and ensuring its safe return.
