Yes, in case you missed it, the simulation was actually started on June 3rd, 2010. A volunteer team consists of 3 Russians, a Frenchman, an Italian Colombian and a Chinese researchers were locked down in a capsule which represent a real spacecraft somewhere in Moscow.
The daily activities are conducted as real as possible with the exception of weightlessness. Even their comms with the outside world has that delays effect.
Oh, in case you missed it again, they have touched down on Mars on February 14th, 2011. Their life on Mars has begun!
