You are given 200 metric tons of Mars settlement cargo and a budget of several billion dollars. What is the best way to get this cargo, and the first Mars settlers, from Earth to the Martian surface? How can we reduce the cost? How can we improve the chances of successfully delivering the cargo and crew? Answering these questions are some of the challenges facing the Mars Foundation, and you can help! Join us to discuss spring 2006 UROPs exploring Mars settlement mission planning. An MIT faculty member has agreed to be an advisor for some UROPs with this focus.
