"Phillip, Amanda, don't you want to participate in this Mars exploration?" Frank asked again without making the final decision.

"Frank, the dark matter research model that Andre and I are working on is at a critical stage. I don't want to be distracted to do other projects for the time being." Philip looked at Andre, then turned to Frank and replied calmly.

Frank didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement.

"Frank, maybe Mars adventure is not suitable for me..." Amanda was silent for a long time before explaining.

"Okay, it's okay, I understand you." Frank interrupted Amanda without waiting for her to finish her sentence. "It's really a chore to go back and forth after more than a year."

According to the plan, after the astronauts land on Mars, they must stay there for a whole year, because in the relative motion of Earth and Mars orbiting the sun, the actual distance between the two will continue to change. Only when Mars and Earth are relatively close in a year is the best time to return.

The simple diagram is as follows:

[Mars]---[Sun]---[Earth]. When the Earth and Mars are in line on both sides of the Sun, the distance between Earth and Mars is the farthest.

[Mars]---[Earth]--[Sun]. When the Earth and Mars are on the same straight line on the same side of the Sun, the closest distance between the two is the best time to return to Earth.

"Okay, then I am the member of the Mars science exploration team of the Institute of Astrophysics, Durunik and Yuan Shichen, the rest of the people stay on the earth and provide logistical support." Frank finally announced the list of candidates.

"In addition, Durunik and Yuan Shichen, because you two have no experience in space navigation, so I will apply to the Aerospace Research Institute to provide you with professional astronaut training courses." Although when joining the IEA (Interstellar Exploration Alliance), new students had simple contact with astronaut training courses, in order to ensure that they are thorough, Frank decided to send the two to strengthen their training.

"So far today, everyone will go back and prepare." Frank announced.

"I understand." "Okay."

Afterwards, the members of the meteorite experiment team left the conference room one by one and prepared to go separately.

Although, according to the scientific and technological strength of the IEA organization, landing on Mars is not a difficult task.

However, the entire login plan still needs to be carefully prepared and closely cooperated between various scientific departments to be well completed.

After the base deputy commander Carter announced the launch of the Mars landing exploration project, preparations for various departments of the IEA Pacific Base were carried out in an orderly manner.

In the IEA Pacific Base, Super Laboratory No. 2, Institute of Space Science.

Several scientists were constantly busy next to a cylindrical metal cabin with a diameter of about 20 meters and a height of 4 meters.

Although this cylindrical metal silo is not conspicuous, it is created by the joint collaboration of the top science and technology in various fields on the earth.

"How are you prepared for [Mars Residence Cabin]?" The person who spoke was a tall and energetic middle-aged man.

"We are doing the final stages of commissioning and testing, Dean Medivh," replied a young scientist seriously.

In order to ensure that astronauts and scientists can stay on Mars for a long time and carry out scientific research operations smoothly, the IEA organization must build a micro base on Mars - [Mars Residence Cabin].

The residence cabin is the temporary home of astronauts on Mars. Similar to the residence cabin of the space station, it has a complete manned environment. Astronauts can live in the cabin and only need to wear cabin suits. The [Martian Residence Cabin] carried by this spacecraft can ensure that 12 people live on Mars for more than 12 months.

The [Mars Residence Cabin] developed by the Institute of Space Science has a completely independent survival system, and is divided into two-story residential cabins with living space, workstations and simulated airlock cabins.

"Have the telescopic system of [Mars Residence Cabin] been inspected?" President Medivh continued.

"I have checked it, do you need to demonstrate it?" replied the young scientist.

"No need now, I will check it before loading." Dean Medivon waved his hand and said.

[Martian Cabin] has an automated telescopic system that can be split along the four walls and contract inward regularly.

After shrinking, the volume of the [Martian Residence Cabin] can be reduced to one-quarter of the original size, greatly improving the convenience of transportation and space navigation.

"Time is tight, all preparations will be completed as soon as possible." said Dean Medivon, the Institute of Space Science Institute, after looking around.

"We can complete the task within one month." The young scientist nodded and continued, "but the scientific research instruments that need to be loaded in the [Martian Residence Cabin] are not in place yet."

"I will arrange for people to communicate and coordinate with other institutes immediately." President Medivh said decisively.

IEA Pacific Base, Institute of Biochemistry, and Dr. Mingqi's office.

"Suzuki, how is the preparations for our Mars landing plan progressing?" Dr. Mingqi asked with a serious face.

"Teacher, our preparations are progressing very smoothly." Suzuki replied with a bow and bowed.

"Are both [Recycled Water Recycling System] and [Oxygen Generation System] ready?" Dr. Mingqi nodded and continued to ask.

"When doing the final debugging, you can be loaded into the [Martian Residence Cabin] next week."

"Very good, and other preparations must be completed as soon as possible. I am looking forward to this Mars exploration operation." Dr. Mingqi's face was full of excitement when he thought of the opportunity to reveal the secrets of life in the ancient universe.

Mars does not have freshwater lakes. In order to ensure the long-term living needs of astronauts on Mars, without any external supplies, through the [recycled water recovery system] provided by the Institute of Biochemistry, the water in the cabin will be continuously filtered and purified.

You can imagine that without a drop of sweat, saliva or urine will be wasted. Although it doesn’t sound so comfortable, the coffee you drink today is likely to come from the feces and urine you excreted yesterday.

In addition, more than 90% of the air components on Mars are carbon dioxide, and the atmosphere density is amazing. In order to survive on Mars, in addition to shelter, food and water, there is also an important condition - oxygen.

[Oxygen production system] The oxygen and hydrogen in water molecules will be separated by electrolytic means.

Oxygen will be directly released into the air, and hydrogen will enter the water-making circulation system.

In order to ensure a large amount of electricity consumption of the [oxygen production system], the entire [oxygen production system] will be equipped with radioisotope power supplies and giant solar panels at the same time.
