| Description: | This project will investigate the aspects of Mars colony design for a settlement of approximately 100 colonists and present its findings and recommendations. This project will focus mainly on the human aspect of colony design. The human aspect is important to because if humans cannot work together toward the success of establishing a human settlement on Mars, the entire mission could fail. If the mission fails, it could delay or prevent other missions from taking place. It will do so by exploring analogs on Earth to study the impact of isolation and confinement in extreme environments. These analogs include HI-SEAS, Mars500, Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), NASA’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) and Columbia Research Station in Antarctica. The existence of these missions indicates that there is an interest to learn about the impact of these psychosocial dynamics in applied situations. The lessons learned from these analogs will be studied and recommendations will be made so that problems experienced can be avoided in the future. |
