Exploration of Mars

In 2030, a 200 metric ton spacecraft that could take people to Mars in days. Mars space flights are estimated to cost $20 million per person. If the cost of  equipment and supplies for three month are included, the estimated cost is $5 billion compared to NASA estimates of about $500 billion. NASA�s technology is very inefficiency. The mass of spacecraft divided by the mass of the launch vehicle is about 1% efficient compared to 98% efficiency for Mirror Propulsion Spacecraft.

We are working on 200 Metric Ton manned Mars Spacecraft that will enable scientists to begin exploring Mars in 2028. A Mars Task Force needs to be established to determine what the scientific community really wants to do once they land on Mars.

Mars Spacecraft(200 Metric Ton)

Key Milestones are to start design in 2026, manufacture in 2027, flight test in 2029, and manned exploration of the Mars in 2030.

We estimate that the spacecraft would take four to seven days to travel to Mars, another four to seven days to orbit Mars and find desirable areas to explore, three months for surface exploration, and then another three to seven days to return to Earth. Manned shuttlecraft would enable people to explore numerous locations on Mars that could include dropping off experiments.
