Kent Joostenb, Bret Drakec, Steve Hoffmanc, Tara Polsgroved, Michelle Ruckera, Alida Andrewsc, Nehemiah Williamsa a NASA Johnson Space Center, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, Texas 77058, john.connolly- [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] b Consultant,2383 York Harbour Ct., League City, TX 77573, [email protected] c The Aerospace Corporation, 2310 E El Segundo Blvd, El Segundo, California 90245, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] d NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama 35812, [email protected] Abstract A human mission to Mars will occur at some time in the coming decades. When it does, it will be the end result of a complex network of interconnected design choices, systems analyses, technical optimizations, and non-technical compromises. This mission will extend the technologies, engineering design, and systems analyses to new limits, and may very well be the most complex undertaking in human history. It can be illustrated as a large menu, or as a large decision tree. Whatever the visualization tool, there are numerous design decisions required to assemble a human Mars mission, and many of these interconnect with one another. This paper examines these many decisions and further details a number of choices that are highly interwoven throughout the mission design. The large quantity of variables and their interconnectedness results in a highly complex systems challenge, and the paper illustrates how a change in one variable results in ripples (sometimes unintended) throughout many other facets of the design.

  • Isolated and Confined Environments
    17 Isolated and Confined Environments Carole Tafforin Ethospace, Toulouse, France Characteristics of space analogue environments with regard to human per- formance concern the crew adaptation in a socio-psychological context and in a temporal dynamics. Isolation, confinement and time are major features on Earth to reproduce an extra-terrestrial environment for manned mission simulations. In the current space missions (low Earth orbit, LEO) and in the perspective of interplanetary missions (near-Earth asteroid, Moon, Mars), men and women will have to adapt to social constraints (crew size, multinationality, mixed-gender) and spatial restrictions (volume, multi-chambers, life-support) on short-term, medium-term and long-term durations. The crewmembers also will have to perform intra-vehicular activities (IVA)and extra-vehicular activ- ities (EVA). For training, preventing and optimizing such tasks, simulations of living and working together in isolated and confined environments, and simulations of operating with a space suit on geological surfaces are the new requirements. During the two decades (1991–2011), space simulators (confinement) and analogue settings (isolation) were adequately developed on Earth with the ultimate goal of walking on Mars. Time periods extended up to 500 days. Space analogue environments are located worldwide (Canada, United States, Russia, Europe, Antarctica and Arctic). Mission durations in space analogue environments cover days, weeks and years. Isolation and confinement facilities implemented for such simulations are listed in Table 17.1. Over a 7-day duration, the Canadian Astronaut Program Space Unit Life Simulation (CAPSULS) was an Earth-based initiative that simulated a typical space shuttle or space station mission [1]. CAPSULS provided the Canadian astronaut participants with space mission training.

  • Design of a Human Settlement on Mars Using In-Situ Resources
    46th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2016-151 10-14 July 2016, Vienna, Austria Design of a Human Settlement on Mars Using In-Situ Resources Marlies Arnhof1 Vienna University of Technology, Vienna, 1040, Austria Mars provides plenty of raw materials needed to establish a lasting, self-sufficient human colony on its surface. Due to the planet's vast distance from Earth, it is neither possible nor economically reasonable to provide permanent, interplanetary supply. In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) will be necessary to keep the Earth launch burden and mission costs as low as possible, and to provide – apart from propellant and life support – a variety of construction material. However, to include outposts on other planets into the scope of human spaceflight also opens up new psychological and sociological challenges. Crews will live in extreme environments under isolated and confined conditions for much longer periods of time than ever before. Therefore, the design of a Mars habitat requires most careful consideration of physiological as well as psychosocial conditions of living in space. In this design for a Martian settlement, the author proposes that – following preliminary automated exploration – a basic surface base brought from Earth would be set up. Bags of unprocessed Martian regolith would be used to provide additional shielding for the habitat. Once the viability of the base and its production facilities are secured, the settlement would be expanded, using planetary resources. Martian concrete – processed regolith with a polymeric binder – would be used as main in-situ construction material. To provide optimum living and working conditions, the base would respond to the environment and the residents' number and needs, thereby evolving and growing continuously.

  • Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People
    Human Mars Mission Architecture Plan to Settle the Red Planet with 1000 People Malaya Kumar Biswal M1, Vishnu S2, Devika S Kumar3, Sairam M4 Pondicherry University, Kalapet, Puducherry, India - 605 014 Abstract Exploration is one of the attentive endeavor to mankind and a strategy for evolution. We have been incessantly reconnoitering our planet and universe from Mesopotamian era to modern era. The progression of rocketry and planetary science in past century engendered a futuristic window to explore Mars which have been a source of inspiration to hundreds of astronomers and scientists. Globally, it invigorated space exploration agencies to make expedition for planetary exploration to Mars and Human Mars Missions. Scientists and engineers have portrayed numerous Human Mars Mission proposals and plans but currently the design reference mission 5.0 of NASA is the only mission under study. Here we propose a mission architecture for permanent Human Mars Settlement with 1000 peoples with multiple launch of sufficient cargoes and scientific instruments. Introduction: This paper focuses on design of Human Mars Mission with reference to the instructions by Mars Society. We proposed mission architecture for carrying 1000 peoples onboard spaceship (Marship). Overall mission architecture outline map and Human Mars Settlement Map is provided next to this page. We divided the whole mission architecture into three phases starting from orbital launch of launch vehicles and Mars colony establishment. We proposed novel habitat for protection during robust dust storms, various method to make the colony economically successful, minerals and their applications, administrative methods, water extraction, plantation, landing patterns, estimation of masses of food to be carried out and customizable system for re-use and recycling.

Englera, , K. Binsteda, H.

Previous manned ex- Analog ploration missions of long duration have been resupplied with food, water, and air as required. Manned missions Simulation to other planetary bodies will have durations of years with little to no possibility of resupply. Consequently, Manned missions monitoring and forecasting resource consumption are mission-critical capabilities. The Hawaii Space Exploration Machine learning Analog and Simulation, a long-duration planetary analog simulation, has recently completed its fifth long-term Mars habitat isolation mission conducted to assess the energy, food, and water needs of a six-person long-term planetary Planetary habitat mission. This study presents a novel method for forecasting energy consumption, which incorporates the emotional state of the habitat crew. Gathered data show inhabitants in small environments can be influenced considerably by the actions of a single member. This can result in dramatic changes in consumption that could cause forecasting models to deviate to the point of total failure. Previous work found that inclusion of the daily activities and the psychological states of the crew allows for higher accuracy in long-duration forecasts.
