Synopsis
The Mars Society built a prototype of a spacecraft habitat that could land humans on Mars and serve as their base in the exploration of the Martian surface. The purpose of this prototype is to study with NASA how astronauts will one day explore and inhabit our neighboring world. This habitat is the Mars Arctic Research Station (MARS). Constructed at the Haughton meteorite impact crater on Devon Island in northern Canada, the environment is described as a cold polar desert where NASA scientists have been finding an astonishing variety of terrain and natural features resembling those reported on the planet Mars.
