MDRS Crew 110A – Summary Report

Abstract

The crew would like to thank the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC), the UW- Madison Dean of Engineering, their faculty advisor Dr. Frederick Elder, and the Mars Society Mission Support for their knowledge, guidance, and support of the mission. We could not have accomplished our goals without you.

Crew 110A consisted of a team of engineers, undergraduates and graduate students, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During our stay, we celebrated the New Year with an inaugural midnight EVA and red Martian cool-aid, we anxiously listened to the UW-Madison Badger Football Team play in the Rose Bowl, and we completed 15 EVA’s within a seven day period.

The crew set out with a mission to conduct habitability, atmospheric, geologic imaging, and space suit ergonomic studies and a vision to advance the space industry’s exploration capabilities.
