The first human expedition to Mars is planned for about 2030. The flight to the red planet might take approximately 10 months. After this long period in zero gravity the astronauts will suffer from osteoporosis and amyotrophia. In addition, the crew will have to face considerable strain due to a large number of experiments to be done within a very short time span. Therefore, we have to assume to be confronted with an increased accident risk and consequent injuries. The planning of a Mars expedition should include the development of rescue techniques? procedures and the treatment of injured astronauts. In the Mars Desert Research Station in the desert of Utah, simulations of the first human expedition to Mars were performed. In addition to geophysical, microbiological and psychological experiments, various potential accidents and their consequent injuries were simulated for the very first time during "AustroMars" in April 2006. This work points out which injuries future astronauts may have to cope with, which rescue techniques might be suitable for recovery of survivors and the limited possibilities for treating injured astronauts.
