Abstract:
This is a follow up on the presentation made last year on the conference, which was well received by the audience, including Dr. Robert Zubrin and others. Mars Direct 3.0 inherits the name and some ideas (such as the Mini-Starship) from Dr. Zubrin's Mars Direct and Mars Direct 2.0 architectures. Then, in combination with new concepts and ideas, it attempts to design the safest first crewed Mars mission that establishes the founding stones for a flourishing Mars base. This architecture makes use of both Starship and Mini-Starship, taking adnavtage of Starship's massive payload capacity and Mini-Starship's lower fuel production needs, as well as proposing a new method for landing the crewed Mini-Starship on Earth. But perhaps one of the most (if not the most) appealing advantages is the overall safety of the mission, with multiple contingency plans in case a variety of failures or dangers occur. This includes a global dust storm using only solar panel technology. The presentation will include updates and changes based on feedback and update on the state of the Mars Direct 3.0 paper that will be submitted for publication at a later date.
