Institution program M-BIN

MARS HOMEBASE- INSTITUTION PROGRAM (M-BIN)

Mars HomeBase organization presents a tailored initiative for educational institutions interested in advancing Mars habitat technology research and development under Institution program known as M-BIN. At the university level, Mars HomeBase offers student research programs designed for undergraduate students seeking exposure to the Mars habitat program. Participants gain valuable insights into the program’s requirements, limitations, and engage in hands-on research projects. All projects initiated under this program are overseen by Mars HomeBase and coordinated within the respective local institutions. Students are not only exposed to traditional engineering disciplines like basic engineering, medicine, and agriculture, but they also cultivate a mindset geared towards applying these engineering principles to the unique challenges of Mars.

Graduate and Under graduate programs

Both graduate and under grad students can participate in Mars HomeBase Institution Research programs
