Landing on Mars

Landing on Mars, the Dutch "Mars One" Institute launched a plan to let volunteers land on Mars and establish human settlements in 2023. On 20 13, the college will recruit the first four volunteers through the reality TV show. The Dutch non-profit organization "Mars No.1" announced on 2065438+200465438+10.2 that it had selected 1058 people from 200,000 applicants to participate in the second-stage training of emigrating to Mars. 1058 people will be eliminated many times, and finally 24 "strong men of the earth" will be screened out and will go to Mars in 6 batches in 2024.

2065438+February 23, 2005 Bret Drake, a researcher in charge of lunar and Mars exploration at NASA Johnson Space Center, said: "We still regard human landing to survey Mars as the future exploration goal, and Mars is one of the main goals for human long-term exploration in the future."

20 14 1.8 "Mars-1" research institute clearly pointed out that these volunteers could not return to Earth after landing on Mars.

It is a great challenge for the astronaut task force to land on Mars, and this task needs a great technical breakthrough at present. On July 23rd, 2009 [1], NASA was still planning this survey plan and constantly updating new exploration concepts. Drake said: "Mars is one of the main goals of human long-term exploration in the future!" " "

Historical background

It takes great challenge to go to a place where human beings have never set foot, and it takes great courage to persist in knowing that they can't return to the earth. The Dutch "Mars One" research institute has launched a plan to let volunteers land on Mars and establish human settlements in 2023. In 20 13, the hospital will recruit the first four volunteers in the form of reality TV show. However, on June 8, 65438/KLOC-0, the "Mars One" research institute clearly pointed out that these volunteers could not return to Earth after landing on Mars.

Development history

Anticipated plan

Volunteers will be trained for 8 years before landing on Mars in 2023. On October 8th, 65438/KLOC-0, the "Mars 1" research institute clearly stated: "They should know that if this project goes smoothly, they will not be able to return to Earth."

Norbert kraft, a former NASA researcher and medical director of the Mars-1 Institute in the Netherlands, said: "The primary criterion for selecting volunteers is no longer how brave they are and how long they can endure supersonic flight. We are now more concerned about the harmony between each volunteer and others in life and work, because they will face lifelong challenges. "

The "Mars One" Institute hopes to raise funds for the Mars project through a long-term global reality show, and the top 24 volunteers flying to Mars will be selected through the reality show. The audience can vote for the first four volunteers to land on Mars in 2023, and 20 volunteers will land on Mars by 2033.

Plan details

Mars One is a private institution established by Dutch entrepreneur Bass Lansdorp, with the aim of establishing a permanent human settlement on Mars.

On 20 13, four volunteers were selected from the first batch to build replicas of human settlements on Mars for training.

In 20 14, the first communication satellite was built.

On February 2 1 2005,2065438, four people from China were selected into the "Mars Exploration Immigration Program" 1, including Bian, a Chinese American woman from China, and Chinese British women. [2]

In June of 20 16, 5438+0, the supply plan was started, and 2,500 kilograms of food were sent to Mars by the 5-meter-diameter "Dragon" spacecraft of Space Exploration Technology Company. If the plan fails to be implemented on time, the backup plan is to use the "Dragon" spacecraft with a diameter of 3.8 meters, or postpone the original plan for two years.

Elon musk, CEO of American Space Exploration Technology Company, recently delivered a speech entitled "Making Humans a Multi-planet Species" at the International Astronautical Congress held in Guadalajara, Mexico, stating his vision for the future-sending a manned spacecraft to Mars within 10 and establishing a human colony on Mars.

In 20 18, the probe was sent to Mars to choose a place for human settlement.

In 20021year, two residential units, two life support units and two supply units, which are components of human settlements, were transported to Mars by the "Dragon" spacecraft.

In 2022, the spacecraft of Space Exploration Technology Company, which transported the first four volunteers to Mars, was launched.

In 2023, the first batch of volunteers landed on Mars.

In 2025, the second batch of four volunteers landed on Mars.

In 2033, the number of members of the Martian human settlement reached 20. [4] [5]

The Dutch company Mars- 1, which caused great controversy because of its plan to emigrate to Mars, jointly announced on 20 13+02+ 10 [4] with Lockheed Martin of the United States and Surrey Satellite Technology of the United Kingdom that Mars- 1 plans to implement the first one in 20 18.

Buzz Lansdorp, CEO of Mars-1, said in a statement that the company plans to launch a landing probe and a communication satellite to Mars in 20 18. He said: "The mission of 20 18 will be a demonstration mission to verify some technologies that are crucial to the ultimate goal of establishing permanent human settlements on Mars."

The company said that it has signed design and research contracts with Lockheed Martin of the United States and Surrey Satellite Technology of the United Kingdom, entrusting the former to design the lander and the latter to design the communication satellite, but not entrusting them to manufacture.

According to the design contract worth 250,000 US dollars signed by both parties, Lockheed Martin's design will refer to the "Phoenix" Mars landing probe previously designed and built for NASA, which will have a mechanical digging arm similar to Phoenix, as well as solar panels, cameras and some experimental equipment.

According to the plan, the communication satellite designed by Surrey Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. entrusted by "Mars-1" Company will enter Mars synchronous orbit and relay all kinds of data obtained by the probe on the surface of Mars.

"Mars No.1" previously proposed a plan to send the first batch of immigrants to Mars in 2023. The latest plan was postponed to 2025, but only if it required 6 billion US dollars. For such a large-scale scientific project, the organization hopes to raise funds through TV talent shows and donations, and only provides a "one-way ticket" to Mars, which has caused many questions.
