The Mars 160 Mission – A Close-Up Look at Simulated Living on Mars
November 16th, 2017
This 7-minute film was produced by the Mars Society to provide a close-up look at the organization's two long-running Mars surface simulation programs - The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in southern Utah and The Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) in northern Canada. The film revolves around the recently completed twin Mars 160 mission, which took place initially at MDRS in 2016 and later at FMARS in 2017. The Mars Society would like to extend special appreciation to the creators of the new film - Jennifer Holt, an Emmy award-winning producer/editor and dedicated Mars advocate, Anastasiya Stepanova, crew journalist for the Mars 160 mission, and James Burk, the Mars Society’s IT Director, along with Dr. Shannon Rupert, the Mars 160 Principal Investigator and overall inspiration for the mission, and the entire Mars 160 crew and support staff.
