help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a spaceflight to distant plas. If there was an effective technology, it could make deep space travel a reality, said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month. What seems like a science fiction is not pletely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep like state where they don’ t age. They have now moved on to the small, non hibernating mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物) like rats. A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body ans are far more plex (復(fù)雜的). It’ s like moving from a simple Apple puter to a superputer, said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’ s University of Pavia. Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’ s metabolism (新陳代謝) to lower so they would need less energy. Medical research, however, is just half of a spaceflight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter (棲身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (監(jiān)控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator. According to Ayre, the six person Human Outer Plas Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’ s moon (木星的衛(wèi)星) Callisto, could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045. 5. According to the article, the hibernation research _______.
