Material Type:	ISU Team Project reports
Publisher:	International Space University
Publication Date:	2009
Pagination:	xiv, 100 p.
Layout:	ill.
Size:	28 cm
General note:	Includes bibliographical references.
Languages :	English (eng)
Descriptors:	Life support systems ; Manned space flight ; Mars (Planet)--Exploration ; Outer space--Exploration ; Space flight to Mars
Class number:	TL799.M3
Abstract:	After initial steps on the Moon, our next challenge is to explore the solar system. Mars shows potential for both scientific discovery and future human settlement [...]. Currently proposed Mars missions have identified a number of challenges such as high levels of radiation, harsh climate and limited launch windows. Recently discovered lava tubes on Mars present potential solutions to some of these issues such as planetary protection and crew safety. This report assesses the feasibility of overcoming such challenges through the exploitation of Mars caves.
