This article describes a one-way manned mission for colonization.
One-launch mission
- One launch atop an Ares V or Jupiter 232 rocket with an EDS and a man-rated version of a Direct cargo lander. The one-way lander is outfitted for use as a habitat during the cruise phase.
- After the EDS burn, the lander deploys a tether between it and the EDS for artificial gravity. The EDS is used as a counterweight.
- Upon arrival at Mars, the lander seperates from the tether and lands on Mars.
Open issues
- 17 missions of this type will be needed to land 100 colonist on Mars.
