The objective of the humans to mars project (H2M project) is to define and suggest solutions to overcome the scientific technical physiological psychological and policy challenges of sending humans beyond low earth orbit - specifically to mars. This information is promulgated in many ways including through our annual conference in washington DC workshops panel discussions educational outreach and reports each of which educates the general public and also assists space exploration stakeholders in advancing the long-term goal of landing humans on mars. .to accomplish this goal we have identified a series of programs that (1) help define/suggest solutions to overcome technical scientific physiological psychological and policy challenges (2) build consensus on mission operational and scientific objectives (3) strengthen the relationship between planetary science human space flight technology policy experts international partners and other essential fields and stakeholders required for long-term exploration of the solar system (4) show the value of utilization of the international space station (ISS) cislunar missions lunar surface operations as well as robotic precursor missions to advance the humans to mars goal (5) compile the lessons knowledge and concepts into comprehensive reports (6) build consensus on the feasibility of mars exploration (7) determine how best to advance the overall goal of landing crews on mars (8) examine and articulate the reasons why we explore mars (9) stimulate commercial and international support for human missions to mars and (10) provide an annual report regarding the progress of mission planning developments and capabilities towards the long-term goal of human missions to mars. .
