The Mars Society<\/a>\u00a0seeks volunteers for a one year trip to a Mars base – simulated on an arctic island:<\/p>\n

Call for Volunteers: Mars Arctic 365 Mission – The Mars Society<\/strong>
\n<\/a>One-Year Mars Mission Simulation at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station:<\/em><\/p>\n

The Mars Society is seeking six volunteers to participate as members of the crew of the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station<\/a>\u00a0(FMARS) during an extended simulation of human Mars exploration operations on Devon Island in northern Canada (August 2014 through July 2015).<\/p>\n

As currently planned, the crew will consist of four individuals chosen primarily for their skills as field scientists in areas including geology, geochemistry, microbiology, biochemistry and paleontology. Two additional crew members will be chosen primarily for their skills in engineering areas. The ability of crew members to support both roles is considered a strong plus.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For 12 months, these six crew members will conduct a sustained program of field exploration on Devon Island, 900 miles from the North Pole, while operating under many of the same constraints that will be faced by explorers on an actual human Mars mission. For example, no one will be able to go outside without wearing a spacesuit simulator. The crew will be responsible for all of its own field work, lab work, reportage, repair of equipment and chores of daily life. They will work in telescience collaboration with a Remote Science Team, a Mission Support Group and an Engineering Support Team located in the continental United States. In addition to the six person Mars exploration crew, one field support person will also participate in the expedition in and out of simulation role. This person should have excellent field mechanic and wilderness skills.<\/p>\n

Both volunteer investigators who bring with them a proposed program of research of their own compatible with the objectives of the Flashline Station (see below) and those simply wishing to participate as members of the crew supporting the investigations of others will be considered. Volunteers may submit applications as individuals, couples or both. Applications will be considered from anyone in good physical condition between 22 and 60 years of age without regard to race, creed, color, gender, or nationality. Scientific, engineering, practical mechanical, arctic, wilderness, first aid, medical, and literary skills are all considered a plus. Applicants should have either a four-year college degree or equivalent experience.<\/p>\n

Applicants will need to pass a physical exam and must be cleared by their personal physician to participate.\u00a0Applicants must be non-smokers and should state what, if any, food allergies and\/or dietary restrictions they may have. Dedication to the cause of human Mars exploration is an absolute must, as conditions are likely to be very difficult and the job will be very trying.<\/p>\n
