About Mars Society Australia Inc

Our Goals Mars is within reach. The fourth planet from the sun, the Red Planet, is a potential new frontier for humanity. It is the nearest body in the solar system known to possess all the mineral resources necessary to sustain a permanent human presence. It has landscapes billions of years old that can shed light on the early history of the earth and the solar system. Understanding of its climatic history will help scientists understand the operation of the earth's climate. Mars is the next most likely place in the solar system where life may once or may still exist, the discovery of which would offer deep insights into the origins of life and the biological sciences. In the last decade, major strides toward feasible, affordable human missions have been made and the question is no longer, “Can humans go?” but “When will humans go?” The Mars Society Australia Mars Society Australia (MSA) is an incorporated non-profit organisation. (Download our Articles of Association). It is part of a worldwide movement, and its goals are: 1. Broad public outreach to instil the vision of pioneering Mars. 2. Support of more aggressive government funded Mars exploration programs around the world. 3. Conducting Mars exploration on a private basis. 4. Encourage Australian participation in education, industry and government and individuals. The MSA is undertaking comparative research and testing surface exploration strategies and technologies in renowned Mars analogue locations. Our vision is to position Australia for participation in the eventual establishment of a human presence on Mars, and to make Mars more real as a place for people everywhere.
