“Starting in 2015, Explore Mars is publishing an annual Humans to Mars Report (H2MR), an annual summary of progress made and challenges to be overcome in attaining our goal of sending humans to Mars and establishing a permanent presence there. The H2MR provides updates on challenges, plus progress in areas such as mission architecture design and development, scientific discoveries, policy, public perception, international cooperation and competition, and new private capabilities. In addition to the printed report, Explore Mars maintains the H2MR website that archives support materials used to produce the printed report. The site serves as a valuable resource for interested parties and members of the press. The first annual report was released at the H2M Summit in May of 2015. It was distributed to all members of Congress, industry leaders, space policy experts, NASA officials and members of the interested public. Explore Mars doesn't charge for the publication and a copy is available on the Explore Mars web site.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Conferences: 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/Desc | 0 | Affording Mars is a program of ongoing workshops utilizing a global working group of more than sixty leaders from more than thirty government, industry and academic organizations. The goal of this initiative is to build stakeholder consensus on what is necessary to make human Mars exploration feasible, sustainable, and affordable within two decades. The first AM workshop was held in December of 2013. The third workshop was held in December 2015. Approximately 60 professionals from the industrial and commercial sectors, academia, and NASA, along with European colleagues, participated in the workshop. These individuals were chosen to be representative of the breadth of interests in astronaut and robotic Mars exploration. AM III continued the work that began with the first two Affording Mars Workshops (AM I and AM II) in 2013 and 2014. AM III 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 inform space agency leadership and national policy makers. |

The H2MR provides updates on challenges, plus progress in areas such as mission architecture design and development, scientific discoveries, policy, public perception, international cooperation and competition, and new private capabilities. In addition to the printed report, Explore Mars maintains the H2MR website that archives support materials used to produce the printed report. The site serves as a valuable resource for interested parties and members of the press. The first annual report was released at the H2M Summit in May of 2015. It was distributed to all members of Congress, industry leaders, space policy experts, NASA officials and members of the interested public. Explore Mars doesn't charge for the publication and a copy is available on the Explore Mars web site. |
