“Mars. It\u2019s humanity\u2019s next giant leap. And we\u2019re closer than we\u2019ve ever been.<\/span><\/p>\n

What will a human Mars mission look like? How can we keep astronauts safe, healthy and productive for a three-year journey into deep space? What can they discover when they get to Mars? How do we build a road map from today\u2019s low-Earth orbit missions to our first interplanetary journey?<\/span><\/p>\n

At Lockheed Martin, our job is to challenge ourselves and our industry teammates to drive the innovation that helps make those grand achievements possible – quickly, safely and affordably.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mars Base Camp is Lockheed Martin\u2019s vision for sending humans to Mars by 2028. The concept is simple: transport astronauts from Earth to a Mars-orbiting science laboratory where they can perform real-time scientific exploration, analyze Martian rock and soil samples, and confirm the ideal place to land humans on the surface in the 2030s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mars Base Camp lays out a proposed technology road map to support NASA\u2019s Journey to Mars. This is a mission designed to be led by NASA and its international and commercial partners. As exemplified by collaboration on the International Space Station, the contribution of additional resources, technology, expertise and investment, will enhance the level and number of scientific investigations performed at Mars.”\"1469560331857\"<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Mars Base Camp concept is built on a strong foundation of today\u2019s technologies \u2013 making it safe, affordable and achievable:<\/p>\n
