A Science Strategy for Human Exploration for Mars
When astronauts set foot on Mars, it will be one of humanity’s greatest milestones. These first steps will be the result of decades of research, engineering, and imagination coming together, marking the beginning of a new era of discovery on another planet.
A new National Academies report, A Science Strategy for the Human Exploration of Mars, outlines how future missions can advance the highest-priority scientific goals for understanding the Red Planet and preparing for sustained human exploration. The report identifies opportunities to search for signs of life beyond Earth, reveal how planets evolve, and test systems and resources that can support humans far from home.
Join us as we share findings from the report on how we can advance science and discovery through human missions to Mars. The event will be held at the National Academies Keck Center in Washington D.C. and livestreamed online on December 9, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (ET).
