Mars Society
An international organization devoted the studies of sustaining a human settlement on Mars

This is done by performing simulated Mars missions where participants live in a Mars habitat and work outside in simulated space suits
MDRS near Hanksville, UT

Notice the red dots
Hydrothermal pipes
![Page 21: FMARS 2009 A Scientific Mission by the Mars Society W. Vernon Kramer – DMC Geology Instructor FMARS 2009 Commander](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519c244550346695e8b4783/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Examples of a hydrothermal pipeOf the more than 70 pipes, most were found by walking over the terrain (without a space suit)
![Page 22: FMARS 2009 A Scientific Mission by the Mars Society W. Vernon Kramer – DMC Geology Instructor FMARS 2009 Commander](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519c244550346695e8b4783/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Our mission is to “find” these various types of “pipes’ with a UAV and sample the pipes for useful minerals (all within a space suit, helmet and thick gloves!
Then we will further test these with EM geophysics

Remotely controlled Prioria Maveric UAS with GPS, with cameras that can take high resolution color and infrared photos
![Page 24: FMARS 2009 A Scientific Mission by the Mars Society W. Vernon Kramer – DMC Geology Instructor FMARS 2009 Commander](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519c244550346695e8b4783/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Nikon CoolPix P6000 with geotagging
All sampling will be GPS tagged with Nikon donated cameras
![Page 25: FMARS 2009 A Scientific Mission by the Mars Society W. Vernon Kramer – DMC Geology Instructor FMARS 2009 Commander](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/5519c244550346695e8b4783/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
All field data will be collected using a DMC loaned Trimble GeoXM
(with training by John Nelson - DMC)
A variety of other GPS units will be used for navigation (including loaners from DMC)
And all GPS data will be integrated using ARCMAP (from DMC IT, with training by DMC John Nelson)

By men in space suits in a few days

We must find usable minerals on Mars for this to happen!
