Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]Then again, NewSpace Journal [URL=http://www.newspacejournal.com/2013/02/21/new-insights-on-that-private-crewed-mars-mission/]notes[/URL] that Dennis Tito is slated to deliver a paper entitled, [i]Feasibility Analysis for a Manned Mars Free Return Mission in 2018[/i] at the IEEE Aerospace Conference in Montana next month. <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]This publication obtained a copy of the paper Tito et al. plan to present at the conference, discussing a crewed free-return Mars mission that would fly by Mars, but not go into orbit around the planet or land on it. This 501-day mission would launch in January 2018, using a modified SpaceX Dragon spacecraft launched on a Falcon Heavy rocket. According to the paper, existing environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) technologies would allow such a spacecraft to support two people for the mission, although in Spartan condition. "Crew comfort is limited to survival needs only. For example, sponge baths are acceptable, with no need for showers," the paper states.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
