The goal is for participating schools to discuss via email and webchats between themselves and with experts the problems involved in the design of a manned mission to the Red Planet (Orbital Mechanics, Propulsion, Life Support System, Space Medicine, Human Factors, Spacecraft Design, Mission Sequence) Each one of these topics will constitute an open forum for discussion. Postings to these forums will be emailed to participants and papers contributed by the schools on each of the topics will be included in The Mars Academy web page (http://www.marsacademy.com). After a period of consultation, preliminary solutions will be adopted for each of the design problems and then integrated into a spacecraft design. Once this is done, a mission sequence will be established, crew positions assigned and the mission will be ready to launch after a brief period of training. The mission simulation will be web based and participating schools will be able to man their consoles at the web page and conduct the mission in cooperation with other astronaut schools in the virtual spacecraft and mission control.
