Mars : Prospective Energy and Material Resources

The manned mission is seen as a first step towards a Mars surface exploration base-station and, later, establishing permanent settlement. The location and use of Mars s natural resources is vital to enable cost-effective long-duration human exploration and exploitation missions as well as subsequent...
