Stairs: functional and clear
Emergency window: functional and clear
Commander’s window: functional and clear

Part Three:

Inventory First Aid kit and note what needs to be refilled: nothing needs to be refilled

Note any safety issues:

HAB Upper deck:

The escape ladder should be moved to a storage place where it is easier to pull out and use. The emergency window should have a ladder or a step underneath it to make it easier to access and get out of with the ladder.

ScienceDome:

The path to the eyewash station is obstructed by the Burn and No Burn bins. They should be moved out of the path to the eyewash station.

Note any health/environmental issues:

Note any missing or recommended health and safety supplies:

About The MDRS

The Mars Desert Research Station in the Utah desert was established by the Mars Society in 2001 to better educate researchers, students and the general public about how humans can survive on the Red Planet. It is the second Mars analogue habitat after the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station was established in 2000.

Over 200 crews of six-person teams have lived in 1-2 week field visits at MDRS to simulate life on the Martian surface. Researchers and students alike have explored the Mars-like terrain in the area surrounding the station in full “spacesuits”, maintained the station’s systems, grown plants in the GreenHab to support themselves and even recycled their waste water.

Our activities at MDRS are not only about informing the public, but also conducting real research to bring humanity that much closer to the reality of human exploration on the planet Mars.

Annual field seasons at MDRS run approx. October through May. Anybody can apply to be on a crew, and we also need volunteers to help with the project.
