| Title : | P.A.T.H. : Program Advancing Towards Humans on Mars | | Material Type: | ISU Team Project reports | | Publisher: | International Space University | | Publication Date: | 2003 | | Pagination: | xvi, 205 p. | | Layout: | ill. | | Size: | 32 cm | | General note: | Includes bibliographical references and index. | | Languages : | English (eng) | | Descriptors: | Manned space flight ; Mars (Planet)--Exploration ; Space stations
| | Abstract: | The idea of sending humans to Mars has been thoroughly explored since the 1950s. Scores of human Mars missions have been resigned at a rate of almost one per year. The fact remains that despite all of our endeavors, humans have yet to go to Mars. A human mission to Mars will undoubtedly be the most complex, and potentially the most expensive, non-military project ever undertaken. It is essential that a coherent, systematic approach to enable such a project be developed and implemented to ensure mission success. P.A.T.H.-M therefore suggests a possible structure for a program of activities before a committment is reached to send humans to Mars. | | Host institution : | International Space University, Strasbourg | | Host country : | France | | ISU program : | Master of Space Studies | | Record link: | http://isulibrary.isunet.edu/opac/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=5422 |
