Mars One - a human colony on Mars by 2023 th
The project Mars One (Mars one) is planning to create the first human settlement on Mars in April 2023. The first crew of four astronauts to emigrate on their new planet to Earth after a journey that will take seven months. The new team will join the settlement every two years. By 2033 it will be more than twenty people, who will live and work on Mars in their new home.
Mars One project team working on the plan since the beginning of 2011. In the first year it has been extensive and thorough feasibility study on the idea of learning all the details with numerous experts and expert organizations. This analysis included not only the technical elements but also comprehensively discussed the financial, psychological and ethical aspects.
Many international aerospace companies that can develop and supply the main components of the equipment for the Mars mission, were interested in the project.
Mars One has an impressive list of people who support the mission to Mars. One of them is Prof. Dr. Gerard Hooft, Nobel laureate physicist in 1999.
Chronology
2011
In 2011, members of the Mars One project worked on non-public mission. Once the mission was planned out, Mars One Contact supplier prerequisites. All potential suppliers have been delighted with the apolitical, commercial, manned flight to Mars and confirmed its ability to produce components as needed.
2013
It will be a year in which to begin the selection of astronauts. Who will be among the first four people on Mars, and of those who follow them every two years after that? Anyone who feels that he can cope with this task, can apply for the position. There will be a total of 40 astronauts. Of those wishing to fly will be selected the strongest physically and mentally.
Mars One will build a copy of the Martian settlement in the desert in the world to prepare the astronauts and to provide a realistic environment for testing equipment. The selection of astronauts and their training in a simulated Mars base will be broadcast on television and on the Internet for public viewing.
2014
It will be a year in which to start the preparation for the mission support. And it will last up to the launch in 2016. Also begin production of the first Martian communications satellites. (Photo: Surrey Satellite Technology)
2016
Mission Support will be launched to Mars in January 2016. The module will land on the Red Planet in October 2016 with a cargo of 2,500 kg of food or other materials. Landing will be made near the place where the supposed location of the outpost.
2018
In 2018 Mars rover will land. While the general location of the base is known, the rover's task will be to find a better place in this area.
2021
In 2021 all components of the settlement reached your destination. In general, it will be two residential unit, two units of life support, the second support module second rover. The two rovers are transported all the components found in the location of the base and prepare them for the arrival of astronauts.
2022
All water and oxygen to create an atmosphere will be ready in early 2022, when the Earth's crew received the green light to the launch of the first team. Each component of the transport vehicle will be launched into low Earth orbit, where they will be gathered together. September 14th, 2022 will go down in history as the beginning of the first flight of four astronauts since the last check. Each stage of the flight will be available for viewing on the website of the project 24/7.
2023
The astronauts will land in 2023 and become the first people in history to set foot on Mars. They connect all modules settlement with the help of the rovers. Then they will install solar panels and begin his great exploration of Mars, their new planet.
2025
In June 2025 a second group of land. To their arrival Martian base construction already completed. The second group also bring new equipment. For example, it may be several rovers that will help them to learn their new planet.
Can I have children astronauts on Mars?
In the early years of settlement on Mars would not be a good place for children. The choice of medical institutions will be limited and the group is too small. In addition, a person's ability to reproduce in reduced gravity is not known, and there is not enough research on whether a fetus to grow and develop normally in such conditions. Therefore, Mars One urges residents of the settlement are not trying to have children.
In order to create a real Martian colony, the presence of children is very important. This will be an important moment in the study of Mars.
As Wikipedia says
But between the Earth and Mars there are significant differences. In particular, the magnetic field is weaker than the Earth Mars approximately 800 times. At the tenuous (several hundred times compared to the Earth) is the atmosphere increases the amount reaching the surface of the ionizing radiation. Measurements conducted by American unmanned vehicle The Mars Odyssey, have shown that the radiation background in the orbit of Mars 2, 2 times higher than the background radiation on the International Space Station. The mean dose was approximately 220 mrad per day (2, 2 milligreya per day or 0, 8 warming per year). Amount of exposure resulting from residence in a background for three years, close to the established safety limits for astronauts. The surface of Mars is slightly lower background radiation and the dose is 0, 2-0, 3 Gy per year, significantly changing depending on the terrain, altitude and local magnetic fields.
The chemical composition of common minerals on Mars more varied than that of other celestial bodies in the vicinity of the Earth. According to the corporation 4Frontiers, they are sufficient to supply not only the Mars and the Moon, the Earth and the asteroid belt.
So it's not as bad as many people think.
That's all I wanted to say!!!
