SPRINGER PRAXIS BOOKS NEXT STOP MARS - GIANCA...

This book covers the possible manned mission to Mars first discussed in the 1950s and still a
topic of much debate  addressing historic and future plans to visit the Red Planet. Considering
the environmental dangers and the engineering and design needed for a successful trip  it
covers every aspect of a possible mission and outpost. The chapters explain the motivations
behind the plan to go to Mars  as well as the physical factors that astronauts on manned
missions will face on Mars and in transit. The author provides a comprehensive exposure to the
infrastructure needs on Mars itself  covering an array of facilities including power sources 
as well as addressing earth-based communication networks that will be necessary. Mechanisms for
return to Earth are also addressed. As the reality of a manned Mars voyage becomes more
concrete  the details are still largely up in the air. This book presents an overview of
proposed approaches past  present  and future  both from NASA and  increasingly  from other
space agencies and private companies. It clearly displays the challenges and the ingenious
solutions involved in reaching Mars with human explorers.
