Mars Society Australia (MSA) has been developing the Mars Analogue Research Station at Arkaroola, South Australia (MARS). The only such station in the southern hemisphere, the MARS will be a facility for astrobiology, planetary science, space bio-medical science, field engineering, robotics, human factors and operations research. The station will also cater to space-related education and outreach with a visually arresting design based on a peer-reviewed Mars mission architecture. The structure and systems can serve as a test bed and demonstrator for low impact, mobile, sustainable architecture for remote locations. Research crews are expected to consist of 4-8 persons under normal circumstances with rotations usually lasting two to four weeks. Longer rotations of several months would be possible, as well as shorter visits by education and training organisations. Participation by overseas groups will be welcomed, complementing conceptually similar facilities in Utah, Hawaii, Canada, China, and Israel. The MARS modules will be built in Adelaide, and towed to the site for connection. Each module will be 18 m long and 4.7 m in diameter, representing bent biconic horizontal landers. One module will be the habitat, containing living areas, workshop and laboratory. The other will be the support module. This will separate into a cylindrical garage module, connected to the habitat module via collapsible tunnels, and a cylindrical-conical equipment module housing batteries, fuel, and waste management facilities. MSA envisages the station as being solar powered and have grey to potable water recycling and on-site incineration of waste, minimising environmental impact. MSA is a non-profit approved research institute and is seeking potential sponsors and partners to support the construction of the MARS. The station is endorsed by Arkaroola Village management and will integrate with their existing science and environmental education, including astronomy, occurring in the area.
