How to put a human on Mars, the Imperial approach Imperial College London Universities - Electronics Research

July 31, 2013

This is an interesting one. Imperial College London is highlighting some of its academics have helped the BBC to design a mock mission to Mars, for the five part programme How to put a human on Mars.

The aim of the series is examine the design challenges of such missions, such as building a spacecraft that can create artificial gravity on the voyage.

For example, Dr Tom Pike, from the Department Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Professor Mark Sephton (pictured right), from the Department Earth Science and Engineering, and Dr Simon Foster and Martin Archer from the Department of Physics were all involved. Ryan Robinson, from the National Heart & Lung Institute, also demonstrated the effects of weightlessness on the body.

Imperial writes:

The BBC approached Imperial because of its academic expertise in the field of space research. One of the academics involved in the making of the BBC programme was Dr Tom Pike, from the Department Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He has previously worked on two NASA missions to the red planet.

The series explores some of the design challenges of the missions including building a spacecraft that can create artificial gravity on the voyage to prevent muscle wastage in the crew. The researchers also discuss ways of keeping astronauts protected during the voyage from radiation from the Sun, and the challenges of landing a crew safely in Mars’ thin atmosphere.

The documentary was to air on the BBC News channel and BBC World News.
