Mars Artic 365 . . . 2014

The Mars Society will embark on a journey to simulate a one year stay on the Martian surface, located in the polar desert on Canada’s Devon Island in July of 2014. The Flashline Mars Research Station has gone through a series of upgrades, system checks, and appraisals in July of 2013.

Commenting on the success of MA365 Phase 1, crew commander Joseph Palaia said, “Our team completed the critical mission objectives we had set out to accomplish.  We plan to return to FMARS at the beginning of next season to deliver more equipment and supplies and complete preparation of the station for the Mars Society’s historic one-year expedition.”

Please stay tuned as the Mars Society will soon send out a call for crew volunteers for this one year mission.
