The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) located in southern Utah presents an invaluable opportunity for researchers to become personally involved in the quest for the human exploration of Mars. MDRS is owned and operated by the Mars Society. Crews from across the nation and around the globe rotate in every two weeks to do a simulation of a human crew on Mars. The location and nature of the Mars Desert Research Station provide a unique opportunity for scientists from the Southwest to propose and do research pertaining to the human exploration of Mars. Being the closest major university to the research station, Brigham Young University has become a worthy asset to the Mars Society in their long-term goals for MDRS. The Mars Research Group at Brigham Young University has spent the past nine months proving their usefulness by making four trips down to the habitat to provide support whenever needed. In the upcoming year we plan to finish modifications on the habitat's greenhouse, get the habitat's new 14-inch telescope running, and provide technical briefings for incoming crews on the use of the habitat, greenhouse, and telescope.
