520 $aFrom the Publisher: Martian Outpost provides a unique and detailed insight into the various enabling technologies, mission architectures, medical requirements, and training needed to send humans to Mars. It focuses on the mission objectives and benefits, and the risks and complexities which are compounded when linked to an overall planet exploration program involving a permanent presence on the surface.
