This book covers the possible manned mission to Mars first
discussed in the 1950s and still a topic of much debate, addressing
historic and future plans to visit the Red Planet. Considering the
environmental dangers and the engineering and design needed for a
successful trip, it covers every aspect of a possible mission and
outpost. The chapters explain the motivations behind the plan to go
to Mars, as well as the physical factors that astronauts on manned
missions will face on Mars and in transit. The author provides a
comprehensive exposure to the infrastructure needs on Mars itself,
covering an array of facilities including power sources, as well as
addressing earth-based communication networks that will be
necessary. Mechanisms for return to Earth are also addressed. As
the reality of a manned Mars voyage becomes more concrete, the
details are still largely up in the air. This book presents an
overview of proposed approaches past, present, and future, both
from NASA and, increasingly, from other space agencies and private
companies. It clearly displays the challenges and the ingenious
solutions involved in reaching Mars with human explorers.
