MARS SOCIETY ::: https://www.marssociety.org/

The Mars Society is the world’s largest and most influential space advocacy organisation dedicated to the human exploration and settlement of the planet Mars. Established by Dr. Robert Zubrin

Society activities include Mars analog simulations in the Utah desert and the Canadian Arctic

1. Organise public outreach with the aim of fostering a deep interest in Mars,

2. Promote broad international support for government-funded Mars research and exploration, and

3. Advocate the establishment of commercial space ventures that will help achieve Mars exploration and settlement.

SIRIUS PROJECT ::: https://www.nasa.gov/content/sirius

SIRIUS-18/19 is an international mission conducted in the NEK ground-based analog facility in Moscow. This mission studies the effects of isolation and confinement on human psychology, physiology and team dynamics to help prepare for long-duration space exploration. This four-month mission will occur from March to July 2019. The six crewmembers reported for training in mid-January prior to the start of the mission. Other NEK missions in the SIRIUS series are planned to be 8 and 12 months in duration. NASA’s Human Research Program (HRP) is involved with seven research investigations in SIRIUS-18/19.

Dr. Robert Zubrin ::: https://www.mars-one.com/about-mars-one/advisers/dr.-robert-zubrin-usa

American aerospace engineer and author, best known for his advocacy of human exploration of Mars. He and his colleague at Martin Marietta, David Baker, were the driving force behind Mars Direct, a proposal in a 1990 research paper intended to produce significant reductions in the cost and complexity of such a mission. The key idea was to use the Martian atmosphere to produce oxygen, water, and rocket propellant for the surface stay and return journey. A modified version of the plan was subsequently adopted by NASA as their "design reference mission". He questions the delay and cost-to-benefit ratio of first establishing a base or outpost on an asteroid or another Apollo program-like return to the Moon, as neither would be able to provide all of its own oxygen, water, or energy; these resources are producible on Mars, and he expects people would be there thereafter.
