The scientific advancements and the human preparedness work done at MDRS have never been more mission-critical than it is right now.

Join The Mars Society
We believe in exploring the limits and potential of human life and our place in the universe. The journey to Mars is now within reach. Yet humanity remains unprepared to settle and sustain the mission.
More than a ship, this effort requires entrepreneurship in the unprecedented mobilization of Mars-focused research, outreach events, educational programs, and fundraising.
We bring people together with a single mission – enable and challenge them through events, local chapters, competitions, educational programs, and VR / Metaverse experiences.
