The first important mission for completing the mission is for the engineer(s) to take a training program to learn how to operate drones and other space technology around the surface of Mars over large distances. This is critical to mission success because we need to be able to see what is down on the Mars surface without going down there. This will help us learn more about the Mars surface and where is safe so we can know what to bring and where to bring it.
Working with the City Planner
This objective will help me work with the City Planner to model where the colony is supposed to be. I have to make sure the ground is stable and safe so the buildings will be safe. I also have to design the buildings to withstand the Martian atmosphere and all the space junk that is there.
Working with the Science Officer
This objective will also help me work with the Science office to design a rover that will search for land. I have to know how to pilot and control the drone.
Designing a Spacecraft
This objective will help me complete this goal because I will need to know what the surface of Mars is like. This will help me design a craft with the surface of the Red Planet in mind so we can know here to land and how to land properly so as to not crash the craft.
