LONDON - A team of scientists from Imperial College London have designed a mission to send humans to Mars. In the plan they will send three astronauts to travel to Mars by using a smaller vehicle.
According to the BBC (24/7), spacecraft on a mission to Mars will perform rotary motion to generate artificial gravity and using heat shield to protect themselves against solar flares.
The concept was developed in conjunction with the BBC is intended to spark further debate about the technical constraints and risks that must be addressed in putting humans on Mars.
"Every part of this mission scenario has demonstrated one way, including in the production of propellant on the surface of Mars," says Prof. Tom Pike, who led the design team Imperial.
The concept of the proposed exploration Imperial comes amid renewed interest in building a colony on the red planet by two other private companies.
Non-profit company, Mars One, also expressed interest in land the first four astronauts to Mars. The mission will be run in the upcoming 2023, but packaged in a reality show to be aired on television.
It's just a number of obstacles may be obstacles implementation of this mission. In addition to those who fly to Mars will not be able to return to Earth, they will also face a limited residence and threatened by lack of food and drink on Mars.
But it in fact does not affect the interest of people to join this mission. "Since 2012, we have received about 10 thousand messages from potential applicants from 100 countries in the world," says the founder of Mars One, Bas Lansdorp.
In this mission, it takes six groups each consisting of four persons. The first phase will be deployed in 2022, and two years later will be shipped the next fleet to Mars.
This mission will be using the equipment and technology that have been created by scientists. Call it a rover, a sort of robotic space explorers will be sent to Mars before a human mission to Mars performed. Total, the mission is estimated to cost around Rp 60 trillion.
