Mars One Begins Work on Simulation Mars Home for Crew<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Amersfoort, The Netherlands, 27 March 2014 <\/strong> – Mars One is excited to announce the launch of a simulation project to replicate the future Mars human outpost here on Earth.<\/p>\n

Mars One will soon begin the process of construction of the first simulation outpost, which will be used for training selected astronauts and teams. The main purpose of an early version outpost is for potential crew members to gain early experience in the actual environment which will become their home on Mars.<\/p>\n

Bas Lansdorp, co-founder: \u201cWe are very eager to get started constructing actual hardware for our mission that is important for training future Mars One crews and preparing them for their life on Mars. We are going from theory to practice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mars One has plans to eventually create multiple simulation outposts in different locations for easier training logistics and diverse realism exposure. The early version outpost will not contain an actual life support system immediately, but will be fitted with such systems later.<\/p>\n

Newly added team member Kristian von Bengtson<\/a> will be leading the outpost project from Denmark. He will also be leading the search for potential construction companies and major sponsors who would like [to] be a part of this outpost project.<\/p>\n

Kristian von Bengtson: \u201cFinally getting started on the outpost project is incredibly exciting and I am looking forward to replacing images with real life hardware. I think a lot of people are looking forward to opening the hatches of the outpost modules and taking the next step in the mission. I know I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final location of the first simulation outpost has not yet been decided.<\/p>\n

About Mars One<\/strong>
\nMars One<\/a> is a not-for-profit foundation that will establish permanent human life on Mars. Human settlement on Mars is possible today with existing technologies. Mars One\u2019s mission plan integrates components that are well tested and readily available from industry leaders worldwide. The first footprint on Mars and lives of the crew thereon will captivate and inspire generations. It is this public interest that will help finance this human mission to Mars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
