IRS990/Desc0Conferences: Explore Mars holds an annual conference called the Humans to Mars Summit (H2M). The conference brings together the top technical, scientific, government and academic experts working to develop the technologies and policies that will enable human missions to Mars to be implemented. The conference is open to the general public and is webcast simultaneously to hundreds of middle school and high school classrooms around the country. H2M is funded through corporate sponsorships, a grant from NASA and individual registration fees. The second conference, entitled "RED" brings together a smaller targeted group of technical, scientific, policy, business and entertainment leaders for the purpose of building a lasting coalition to support and advocate for human Mars missions. The first RED conference was held in 2013 and the second will be held in early 2015.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Time Capsule to Mars (TC2M) - This is a student-led program under the auspices of Explore Mars. It involves undergraduate and graduate students from several universities to plan, design, test and execute the first student-led, interplanetary, small sat mission to Mars. The spacecraft will include two "time capsules" that will contain digital data submitted by people from all over the world. The program is designed to involve many students from universities across the United States and will encourage other young people to become involved in STEM education and careers.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0The ExoLance program is a technical program specifically designed to detect life below the Martian surface, the most likely place to find microbial life on Mars, using penetrator probes originally designed for military use that will be equipped with a scientific testing payload. The preliminary testing of the technology will be performed by undergraduate and graduate students at MIT. The program will be partly funded through a crowdsourcing campaign that will give private individuals the opportunity to directly support the search for life on another planet for the very first time.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc0To continue building community consensus on the future of human space exploration, the Second Mars Affordability and Sustainability Workshop (AM II) was hosted by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and held at the Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) conference building on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, CA, October 14 - 15, 2014. Approximately 60 invited professionals from the industrial and commercial sectors, academia, NASA, and the Canadian Space Agency participated in the workshop. These individuals were chosen to be representative of the breadth of interests in astronaut and robotic Mars exploration. AM II continued the work that began with the first Affording Mars Workshop (AM I) in 2013. AM II conducted side-by-side comparisons of potential Mars mission architectures and strategies, discussed potential science goals associated with architectures for human missions to Mars, and examined how to design and advance a humans-to-Mars program that is fiscally and politically sustainable. The output of the workshop consists of observations, findings, and recommendations intended to guide space agency leadership and national policymakers.
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActyOtherGrp/Desc1Explore Mars other programs include policy outreach, public outreach and education, as well as the Teaching Mars program, which pairs grade-school science teachers with aerospace professionals to develop innovative ways to incorporate the science of interplanetary space missions into their curricula.
