2040 : Mars Two

[bdfd]

Description of a 'typical' mission
The goal: to have a permanent human presence on Mars
through sending / return of crew regularly.

For this, you need a local environment that is close to that of Earth.

To continue the mission, Mars Two will base on conjunction scenario.

A conjunction comes back all 26 months.

The adventure goes on... [:)]

Thanks Lady Vero.

Is habitation module this sort of Scotch roll?

I hesitated with the toilet paper roll... [:))] [:))] [:))]
There are still some details to finish.

Like in the movies "The martian" or "Mission to Mars", the astronauts live in big Wheel in rotation (3 rpm).
It's better for gravity. [:)]

... And in the Kubrick masterpiece "2001, a space odyssey", of course...
