The Mars Society is currently looking for people from the general public, educators, and students who are interested in learning what it would be like to live on Mars. The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is planning a mission to try to better understand "the human factors side of crews with young children present along with their educator who will ensure that the students stay on track with their peers back on 'Earth'." The crews of volunteers work in full simulation in Utah in the Canyonlands to be able to conduct field investigations in the physical sciences and engineering.
The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) has hosted numerous research experiments. They were the first all women and all men crews who resided within the Mars hab. The MDRS has also been host to the first children to live, study and play while in full simulation during the Family Living Analysis on Mars Expedition (F.L.A.M.E.) missions conducted in June 2005, March 2006, and March 2007.
