Mars One

Mars Project

Lesson objectives: For this project you’re going to simulate a portion of a colony on the planet Mars large enough to support 1500 people. The class will be divided into six groups, each will design a different portion of the colony; Air, Water, Food, Shelter and Clothing, Waste Management, Recreation and Energy. There are six main parts to this project: 1. Research where man has gone before in space and any future space technology being designed now. 2. Select an appropriate landing site on Mars – a good place for a colony. This will require research into the planet, and previous attempts to explore it, so you can decide on the best place. 3. Design your groups portion of the Mars colony and list the group goals. 4. Create a 3D model of your groups portion of the Mars colony using Sketchup software. 5. Submit your mission proposal to the NASA congressional sub-committee on spending (your classmates) in a 3-5 min. presentation that suggests a solution to the problem. 6. Each group member will create a portfolio that documents your research and presents your mission in detail. Scenario: The year is 2150 and planet earth is in rough shape. Scientists predict that within the next 30 years earth will become uninhabitable. The International Aeronautics and Space Administration (iNASA) is planning a mission to set up a human colony on Mars. With new space-flight technology, an expedition has been proposed for the year 2151 to colonize the planet. Your team has been asked to design a portion of a permanent settlement for 1500 people. .
