The Mars Summer Program (MSP) is an intense five week multidisciplinary certificate-based program that provides a technical overview for undergraduates, graduates, and young professionals to make an impact on Mars. Our team is continuing conversations with host universities and plans to partner with a university by September. If remote learning is necessary, the Program also supports the design of online hybrid courses.

Program Schedule

MarsU shall initially be able to support around three areas of study, based from the demand of interested students. Applicants rank their areas of studies in their online application. After acceptance, students find out which area of study they are accepted into and their schedule, tailored to individual interests.

​The Program will be segmented into lectures, workshops, seminars, and student activities. Toward the end, a student teaching exchange and team project brings hands on learning to jump start your Mars passion and career.

Mars Desert Reseqrch Station

Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is a Mars analog station located in the desert outside of Hanksville, Utah. MDRS was established by the Mars Society to better educate researchers, students and, the general public about how humans can survive on Mars. After the Summer Program, students may choose to participate in a week-long simulation at MDRS to experience Mars analog missions OR to shadow colleagues for one week at local space organization(s) in late July.
