Feature Story: U of R students moving us one step closer to surviving on Mars

Abstract

NASA and its project Journey to Mars pledges to send humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. But it won't be an easy trip given Mars' low atmospheric pressure, which is less than one per cent of the Earth's. But, after winning a year-long competition, a group of University of Regina undergraduate students may have brought us one step closer to making the arduous journey a reality.
