  1. Manned Mission to Mars Chris Knill

  2. Research Question Should international space agencies make a manned mission to Mars their top priority?

  3. Wernher Von Braun Image courtesy of jscreationzs, freedigitalphotos.net • Father of Rocket Science • V-2 Rocket 1942 • First Mars Proposal • 2 Shuttle System • 12 Crew Total

  4. Heliocentric Trajectories Mars Sun Earth • Fuel Usage • Newton’s Laws • Once Every 2 Years

  5. Fuel “we can essentially turn [Mars] into a gas station 55,000 Km from Earth.” –Alex Urech • Creating Fuel • Liquid Hydrogen • In-Situ Resource Utilization Problems with Fuel • Mass • Strength

  6. Radiation • Cosmic Rays • 25 Times Earth Dose • No Magnetic Field • Damage to Instruments Image courtesy of twobee, freedigitalphotos.net

  7. Low Orbit Earth Image courtesy of xedos4, freedigitalphotos.net • 160-2000 Kilometers • Limits Human Risk • Increases Equipment Risk • Radiation Examination • Finances

  8. Jean Marc Salotti Image courtesy of Victor Habbick, freedigitalphotos.net • 2 Shuttle System • 4 Crew Total • Limited Mass • Limited Human Error • Low Orbit Earth • In-Situ Resource Utilization

  9. Konstantinov & Petukhov • 1000 Day Mission • 20% Mass • Low Orbit Earth • Nuclear Electric Propulsion • Cost Effective

  10. Dr. Tony Phillips Image courtesy of vectorolie, freedigitalphotos.net • Colonizing the Moon • In-Situ Resource Utilization • Mars • Asteroids • 2-3 Days - 180 Days

  11. Private Missions “If we send a man to Mars in the next decade, it will be when someone stands to make a boatload of money.” -Alex Urech Image courtesy of Victor Habbick, freedigitalphotos.net • Reality Show • Furthest Stages

  12. Alex Urech Image courtesy of nixxphotography, freedigitalphotos.net • Early Stages of Exploration • Curiosity’s Wealth of Information • Unrealistic Goal at Present

  13. Conclusion Image courtesy of Victor Habbick, freedigitalphotos.net • Not the Top Priority • Continue Progressive Steps • Best Theories • Heliocentric Trajectories • Low Orbit Earth • Limited Mass • In-Situ Resource Utilization
