Want to open up a new world to live in?
Help fill out a technical plan for flexible manufacturing and
growing food on Mars, using materials made on Mars (in-situ),
with minimum equipment brought from Earth.
We will work on detailed designs of systems needed
to live on Mars, including: 3D printing, recycling and
production of polymers on-site, production of other building
materials, and on-site assembly of habitats and greenhouses. Portions
can be adapted from past designs by the Mars Foundation and other
plans.
If there is interest, we may include Mars rover design, social,
economic, political aspects, and suggestions for a business plan.
Please contact us early, if possible,
even if you cannot attend at these times.
This will help us schedule additional sessions,
and provide you background material.
Attendance at most sessions is expected.
Additional design sessions will be scheduled at your
convenience.
If possible, also try to attend
“Mars Settlement Workshop, Mission Design”
during the first and second weeks of IAP.
That will be for designing the overall mission plan.
