Overview/Summary
Overview/Summary
This topic will be focusing on the technology used to execute the Mars One Mission. Phase A is mostly focused towards research of a top - level requirements for the mission and contract assignment to a company. Further discussing Phase B which is the information explaining the designs of the best equipment to send humans to Mars.
Phase A
Phase A
Currently, the mission is undergoing "Phase A", the top - level requirements are established between aerospace companies.
Design
Design
Will undergo in depth studying of the perceptible designs for the systems required to make the mission a success to create permanent human settlement without any failures
How long?
How long?
It will take approximately 500-2500 man - hours to create different technical concept designs for the various components that will be necessary for the mission
What next?
What next?
As changes are made, the conceptual designs will updated according to the results and the changes made will be then incorporated into the design. "Phase A" will result in a solid baseline with improved cost figures

Phase B
Phase B
This phase generally focuses on explaining the detailed designs of all components/elements needed to safely bring humans back to Mars.
What these detailed designs will help with?
What these detailed designs will help with?
These detailed designs and the improved figure costs will help the mission move on to the next to phases (Phase C and Phase D) in which the development of all the elements begins, the design/elements are tested and integrated.
This leads to the launch to Mars and a "green light" indication that it's clear for the first group of Astronauts to begin journey to Mars!
