Abstract:<\/b>
\nMars Society Australia has proposed the construction of a simulated Mars Base to explore the technical and physiological issues related to long term living on a similar base on Mars. The project is called MARS-OZ and is one of a series of similar projects constructed under the auspices of the international Mars Society. Others are located in Utah and Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic. A third has been built and will be deployed in Iceland. The MARS-OZ simulated base employs a different configuration from the other simulated Mars bases. Rather than consisting of vertical cylinders, MARS-OZ employs modules that are based on horizontally landed bent biconic lifting bodies. The MARS-OZ mission concept is based on the `Mars Semi-Direct’ mission architecture, as used by NASA’s design reference mission, resized to a four-person crew. This paper explores the technical issues underlying a horizontally landed bent biconic vehicle and demonstrates the feasibility of the unique MARS-OZ mission concept configuration. The issues of mission architecture, vehicle shape, vehicle mass, a Mars base assembly sequence and interior design to form an extendable long-term integrated base is dis- cussed and evaluated. We conclude that the configuration is overall superior to others with reference to both Mars landing and surface utilisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7979,"template":"","meta":{"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"pwb-brand":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[56,59,155],"product_tag":[1086,1089,1084,1087,1085,863,1088],"class_list":["post-7978","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-journal-of-the-bis","product_cat-papers","product_cat-2005papers","product_tag-australia","product_tag-bent-biconic","product_tag-d-willson","product_tag-hab","product_tag-j-d-a-clarke","product_tag-mars-exploration","product_tag-mars-oz","first","instock","downloadable","virtual","purchasable","product-type-simple","czr-hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"brands":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/7978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=7978"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=7978"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=7978"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bis-space.com\/shop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=7978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
