Mars Colonist Candidate Selection & Training - Mark Holden - 2021 Mars Society Virtual Convention

Track code: XB-5 Abstract: The criteria by which the first Mars colonists are selected will have a direct impact on the success of the mission. This investigation will touch on the psychological stability of each individual candidate but focus on the way the crew works together in an extreme environment. Recommendations will be made based on the available data for selection of members and how to train to ensure the greatest likelihood of success. The complexity of interactions within a group makes it impossible to say with certainty what the “perfect” crew looks like, but there are well studied principles that can be applied to selection to increase the odds of success. Examples will be drawn from real world expeditions that most closely mimic the hardship that will be experienced during Mars colonization. Finally, the training of the teams will be explored to ensure that the selection criteria can be evaluated before leaving earth in more and more arduous training scenarios. From the 24th Annual International Mars Society Convention, held as a Virtual Convention worldwide on the Internet from October 14-17, 2021. The four-day International Mars Society Convention, held every year since 1998, brings together leading scientists, engineers, aerospace industry representatives, government policymakers and journalists to talk about the latest scientific discoveries, technological advances and political-economic developments that could help pave the way for a human mission to the planet Mars. Conference Papers and some presentations will be available on www.MarsPapers.org For more information on the Mars Society, visit our website at www.MarsSociety.org #MarsSociety #MarsSocCon2021
