Mars Society Research Blossoms In Desert Mars Society's Desert Research Station is up and operating. Mars Society researchers are hot on the trail of what may work best in opening up the Sun's fourth planet to extensive exploration by humans. Contrasted to the Arctic station, which became a touch-and-go battle of building problems, Zubrin said that the desert habitat offered its own set of construction challenges. www.space.com /scienceastronomy/solarsystem/mars_society_020327.html

Mars Desert Research Station The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is one of four planned simulated Mars habitats (or 'Mars Analogue Research Station') maintained by the Mars Society. It is the second to be build and opperatied, after the completion of the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station on Devon Island in the Arctic in 2000. The purpose of these stations is to provide an example of what living will be like on Mars. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/mars_desert_research_station

Simulated Mars station does research in Utah desert The Mars Desert Research Station is one of two living laboratories operated by the Mars Society, an organization dedicated to Mars exploration. Researchers at the desert habitat keep a close watch on information retrieved by NASA's Mars rovers, and use it to compare the Red Planet's landscape with the barren desert surrounding them. The Hanksville station stands in a vivid red landscape of cracked dirt, loose soil, rolling hills and jutting cliffs -- bearing a striking resemblance to the Mars photographs retrieved from NASA's rovers. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2004/04/23/state1836EDT7056.DTL

Expedition-Mars.org: Expedition One to the Mars Desert Research Station The centre-piece of the Mars Society of Canada's international collaborative science program is the first of an intended series of special expeditions to each of the international Mars Society's analog research stations. The Association of Mars Explorers, founded in 2002, is a membership organization for explorers of the Martian deserts, mountains, caves, poles and Martian analog environments. Researchers in human factors, anthropology and social-psychology who do not participate as crewmembers are invited to propose scientific analysis that would be done on the video, text and audio data resulting from the Expedition. chapters.marssociety.org /canada/expedition-mars.org/ExpeditionOne

Mars Society Bulletin - United Association to Sponsor Mars Desert Research Station There it will provide an avenue for daily public interaction with the crew of the Mars Society's Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station, who will be operating during that season in the high Arctic desert on Canada's Devon Island. In addition to their research role, the Mars stations will also serve an important public outreach function, making the vision of humans exploring other planets real for millions of people, and inspiring countless numbers of youth to get technical educations in order to have a part in humanity's coming great adventure. During the summer months, when the desert is too hot for such activity, the station will be placed on public exhibit in various prominent exhibition locations across the United States. www.marssociety.org /bulletins/05.07.01.ms.ua.asp

Mars Desert Research Station The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) was established by the Mars Society, an international, privately funded, non-profit organization devoted to advocating the human exploration of Mars. This structure is the Mars Desert Research Station, a simulated Mars habitat designed to prepare humans for exploring the red planet. The stations are also designed to inspire people around the world and generate publicity and support for a human mission to the red planet. www.genmars.com /desert/pages/station.html

BBC NEWS Science/Nature 'I lived in Mars tin hut' The Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville is a two-storey "habitat" where international crews spend two weeks living under Mars-like conditions, only venturing outdoors in a spacesuit. The Mars Desert Research Station in Utah (MDRS) attracts rocket scientists, Nasa workers, teachers, engineers, aspiring astronauts and space enthusiasts from all over the world. On the ground floor of our desert base is a laboratory where the crew can test rock and soil samples they have picked up on geological hunts or work on their Mars robots and ground-penetrating radar machines. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/sci/tech/2843827.stm

Encyclopedia: Mars Society It also owns and operates the Mars Desert Research Station, in the canyonlands of Utah. At this research station they have tested communication, command, scheduling, and scientific investigation techniques and approaches under simulated Mars conditions (for instance, each exit from the main habitat requires the wearing of a pseudo-spacesuit and a 20-minute prebreathing period, as would be necessary on Mars). The Society's most notable private research project to date involves a "simulated Mars habitat" on Devon Island, an island in the Arctic with geography and weather conditions resembling some aspects of Mars. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Mars-Society

The Mars Society: Mars Desert Research Station The Mars Desert Research Station is only one of four planned Mars Analog Research Stations, the second to go into operation. The Remote Science Team (RST), created in August 2003, is a group of scientists working together to advance the scientific research being done at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in Utah.

Jan Osburg: Mars Desert Research Station, April 2002 In 2002, I was selected by the Mars Society to spend two weeks at the Mars Desert Research Station ( MDRS), a Mars-base analog simulation facility located in the most Mars-like area of the Utah desert. Jan Osburg: Mars Desert Research Station, April 2002 In addition to doing my own research on human integration issues, I also had the functions of Executive Officer, Health/Safety Officer and Station Engineer. www.asdl.gatech.edu /people/janosburg/mdrs2002.htm

The Mars Society - Flashline Arctic Research Station The FMARS-9 crew, chosen from volunteers from around the world, will serve a 4-week rotation in the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station on Devon Island beginning in early July. The crew, consisting of five Americans, one Canadian, one Hungarian, and one Pole, are attempting to conduct a sustained program of field exploration of the Mars-like polar desert while functioning under Mars mission operational constraints. During this time they will employ the Mars-like polar desert of Canada's Devon Island to experiment with techniques for the human exploration of Mars. arctic.marssociety.org

A Visit to the Mars Desert Research Station January 2002 During my stay, the Mars Desert Research Station crew consisted of only Frank Schubert, but he seemed to be doing just fine until reinforcements were to arrive later that week. I drove back to Caltech for winter term from my hometown of Minot, North Dakota at the start of January, and of course I couldn't resist a swing by the Mars Society's Mars Desert Research Station near Hanksville as I passed through Utah.

MARS DESERT RESEARCH STATION FIELD SEASON CONCLUDES The season, which began Feb 7, included 6 two-week crew rotations, thereby more than tripling the total amount of Mars Society mission operations research field time undertaken to date. For 84 days, crews of selected volunteers conducted a systematic program of field exploration of the Utah desert, while operating under many Mars mission-like constraints. Specifically, the Mars Society had been advised that crews composed of 50:50 men and women tended to be unworkable and that having a non- American in command of an otherwise all-American team would be a very bad idea. www.marssociety.com /bulletins/bulletin61.2.asp

Space Technology Links Recent activities of note include the "Mars Desert Research Station" in which participants live and work in a mock Mars base, to learn about practical problems that are likely to come up in the process of colonizing Mars. Largely spurred by Robert Zubrin's "Mars Direct" concepts (but carried much further by now), the Mars Society's objective is to return to and establish a permanent colony on Mars. The Planetary Society is a worldwide membership organization which has funded a number of innovative space and astronomy projects including the most intensive SETI search to date and the Cosmos I solar sail project. www.anansispaceworks.com /Links/SpaceTech
