AAS BOOKS ON MARS EXPLORATION  AVAILABLE FROM UNIVELT, INC.  PUBLISHERS FOR THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUTICAL SOCIETY

Science and Technology Series, 

[back to top]

This volume brings together perspectives of Earth and Mars explorers to consider the surface of Mars from the explorer’s viewpoint. A starting assumption is made that there is already a base on Mars that can support expeditions. Then, the authors describe how they would plan expeditions across Mars, including environmental, psychological and scientific factors that would influence these expeditions. This book, as well as presenting new ideas on the planning of expeditions on Mars, can also be regarded as a field guide for future Martian expeditioners. It provides some of the foundation knowledge for planning expeditions to the Martian volcanoes, poles, deserts and caves. The papers in this book are based on a symposium of the British Interplanetary Society held Feb. 24, 2003, London, England, plus numerous invited papers.

The volume is divided into eight sections: Section 1: weather for Martian expeditions; Section 2: science on Martian expedition; Section 3: expedition challenges on Mars; Section 4: planning tools for expeditions; Section 5: expedition mobility; Section 6: expedition environmental impact; Section 7: expedition human factors; Section 8: expedition medicine. Numerical, author and key word index included.

This volume provides a blueprint for manned missions to Mars and a continued presence on the planet’s surface, including what technology is required, and what kinds of precursor missions and experiments are required for this undertaking. Papers which do not appear in full are published as abstracts. These proceedings are based on updated papers which were originally presented at the 6th Case for Mars conference,  held July 17-20, 1996, Boulder, CO.
