Project Boreas : ウィキペディア英語版 | Project Boreas Project Boreas was a study conducted between 2003 and 2006 by the British Interplanetary Society to design a station on the Planum Boreum at the Martian North Pole.〔Project Boreas: A Station for the Martian Geographic North Pole, Editor C. S. Cockell, British Interplanetary Society, 2006〕 The project was international, involving over 25 scientists and engineers, co-ordinated by Charles S. Cockell. Pole Station was designed to operate for three summers and two polar winters. Amongst a diversity of scientific objectives the station occupants were to retrieve a deep core from within the Martian polar ice cap. Expeditions were planned to numerous locations across the Martian north polar cap, including the Chasma Boreale and the polar layered terrains. The study involved wide ranging investigations of the scientific priorities for a human presence at the Martian polar ice caps through to detailed architectural and design studies for the station. Studies were undertaken on mobility and communications and psycho-social issues for long-term operation at the Martian polar station. ==Concept== Project Boreas was named for the Greek god of the North Wind. Concepts for polar bases had been discussed in earlier papers 〔Geoffrey A. Landis, "Polar Landing Site for a First Mars Expedition," 1st Mars Society Convention, August 13–16, 1998, Boulder, CO. Popularized version: "Onward: to the Pole!" Analog Science Fact/Science Fiction, June 1999.〕〔Cockell CS. 1995. The Polar Exploration of Mars. Journal of the British Interplanetary Society 48, 359-368.〕 The station was designed with the assumption that it would be occupied by 10 people. Although the station could be constructed at any time, the study used a timeframe of 2037 to 2042 to provide a backdrop for the design. It is likely that in the coming decades robots will explore the Martian polar caps, which were first observed by Italian astronomer, Giovanni Cassini in 1666. Project Boreas considered long-term human polar exploration on Mars.
