The Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station is the first station in this project. The Crew: The crew, chosen from over 400 volunteers from around the world, includes four Americans, two Germans, and one British subject. They will serve a 3-week rotation in the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station on Devon Island beginning July 6 and ending July 27. During this time they will employ the Mars-like polar desert of Canada's Devon Island to experiment with techniques for the human exploration of Mars.
