<p>The <strong>Mars Simulation Project (mars-sim) </strong> is an open source project that
simulates mission planning, operations and activities of initial settlers on Mars with high
computer modeling details.</p>
<br>
<p>Have you ever been fascinated by reality TV shows in which how contestants face tensions and
survive tests? Teamwork is put to test. Loners come out of their own social isolation to
collaborate with others to accomplish mutual goals. Driven leaders struggle in decision-making
but exercise enough self-restrain to avoid pitting against others having better solutions to
resolve a challenge. </p>

<br/><br/>
<p> What mars-sim attempts to model is how early settlers work together to sustain their base.
While high-level strategic and mission planning is essential, daily operation of a base falls
on how well each individual behaves and relates to one another. Good teamwork and maintaining
relationship with one another is crucial. mars-sim endows each settler with personalities,
natural attributes and job skills, and preferences (likes-and-dislikes on a bunch of tasks),
as there are tasks to get done in developing and sustaining the settlement. mars-sim defines an
assigned role and a job position for each settler with a myriad of tasks to perform. While most
tasks are carried out independently by individuals, some require teaming up with others to get
done.</p>
<p> With private ventures such as SpaceX offering new vision of going to Mars and the Mars One
Foundation seeking to recruit future settlers on a one-way ticket to Mars, mars-sim is giving
the audience a preview of the coming attractions in unraveling the intricate innerworking of
establishing a human foothold on Mars.</p>

<br/>
<p> The good news is that, unlike in a TV soap opera in that the relationship dynamics of the characters are scripted to appeal to a qualified audience, actions and reactions of each settler in mars-sim are emergent. They interact with one anotherunder certain mission requirements and environmental stressors as the settlement is being developed. Their personality and natural attributes can positively or negatively affect social networking. Just like in real life, the bond between any two individuals gets strengthened with positive feedback and worsen with negative exchange, or degraded over time when less contact is made.</p>

<br/><br/>
<p> Below are the typical concerns you may have to work out if you were a mission planner for a
human-rated Mars mission:
<br/><br/> (a). What types of psychological profile of a team should I select for each mission going
to Mars to jump-start a colony vs. sustain the settlement?
<br/><br/> (b). How many of them should I send on each mission, accompanied with what resources, parts,
equipment, vehicles, and building modules?
<br/><br/> (c). How often should I send these resupply missions to seed each existing settlement or to
start a new outpost nearby?
<br/><br/> (d). What interventions do I need to do to ensure these settlers balance between their own
personal needs and the collective needs?
In mars-sim, you will have an opportunity to flesh out your own ideas and test your hypotheses in how
a settlement should be run and how mission planning be done.

<br/><br/>
<p>Currently, mars-sim focuses primarily in offering a simulation engine showcasing human activities in the aforementioned phase 1 and some phase 2 and a little bit of phase 3. Below are the five core features of mars-sim:

<h3>(I). Mission Scenarios</h3>
<p> mars-sim borrows from a variant form of the Mars Direct plan proposed by Zubrin and Baker in 1990s.
Select 'New Sim' in the Main Menu will take you to the Simulation Configuration Editor.
By default, you are presented with two settlements, namely a Mars Direct Base (Phase 1) with 4
settlers and an Alpha Base (Phase 4) with 24 settlers. You are free to reconfigure this template.
<p> In version 3.1.0, users may designate a space agency to sponsor each settlement. The names of
the settler will be auto-generated to suit his/her national origin, based on the space agency chosen.
<p> In terms of resupply mission, for a Mars Direct Base Phase 1, the built-in resupply schedule
will send one new mission each Martian year (668 or 669 sols) for the next 3 years to replenish
existing settlements. Using Resupply Tool, users can tweak the launch/arrival date, the number of
settlers and the type/ quantity of supplies (including buildings, equipment, vehicles, resources,
and parts).

<h3>(II). Profile of Settlers</h3>
<p> Each settler is assigned with a Job which will determine a list of relevant tasks and missions
at a given Work Shift. There are a variety of Job in mars-sim: Architect, Areologist, Astronomer,
Biologist, Botanist, Chef, Chemist, Doctor, Driver, Engineer, Manager, Mathematician, Meterologist,
Physicist, Technician, and Trader. Users can change a person's Job in the Activity Tab.
<p> In version 3.1.0, each settlement will have a leadership structure. For a settlement with less
than 47 settlers, the hierachy comprises a commander, and sub-commander and a list of chiefs and a
list of specialists. FOr a settlement with 48 people, a mayor will be elected. Each settler will
have a given Role based on his/her natural attributes and skills. The roles are not fixed and can
change over time.
<p> A person's Skills Tab will show his current level of achievement on each skill subject. Each
individual has a blend of academic skills (such as Aerology, Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry,
Mathematics, Meteorology, Physics, etc.) and survival skills (such as Botany, Cooking, Construction,
Driving, EVA Operations, Material Science, Mechanics, Medicine, Trading, etc.) that will contribute
to the survival and sustainment of the settlement. When a settler takes up the role of a chef, the
corresponding skill--namely cooking-- will improve. The one whose skill is higher level may mentor
one whose skill is lower. Over time, settlers may cross train among themselves to improve skills or
acquire new skills. With overlapping skills, settlers depend on one another to get through disasters
and catastrophes.
<p> Settlers perform tasks and activities according to their personal needs and the collective needs
of the settlement. There are a myriad of tasks such as Growing crops, Sleeping, Cooking, Relaxing,
Exercising, Doing Yoga, Eating a Meal, Performing Maintenance, Performing Experiments, Manufacturing,
Tending Greenhouse, Entering/Exiting EVA, Driving Vehicle, Collecting Resources, Perform Study, and
Teaching, etc.. Some tasks are more career-oriented than others. As you can imagine, chefs prepare
meals, botanists tend greenhouses, technicians perform maintenance, engineers manufacture needed parts
and equipment from local resources, etc..
<p> Settlers also form tag teams to explore treacherous terrains, prospect rock samples and mine
minerals. Based on supply and demand, they will set out excursions to trade with neighboring settlements
as there are hundreds of items called "Trade Goods". Some of these items may be in surplus on one
settlement but are in wants by another settlement. On the other hand, some settlers may have overwhelming
scientific ambitions to just stay put and write proposals and conduct scientific study. Their goals would
be earning Scientific Achievement Credits. As the primary researchers, they recruit collaborators on their
projects. Without a doubt, settlers of Mars are pioneers of the next human frontier.

<h3>(III). Health and Radiation Modeling</h3>
<p> mars-sim simulates realistic scenarios in which settler will cope with accidents of all kinds,
illnesses, injuries and even death. Each settler has 4 critical health attributes reflecting the
person's current physical conditions: Hunger, Fatigue, Stress and Performance level. A person's
overall health status may be reported as being well or being sick (such as Suffocating, Recovering
from Anxiety Attack/Flu/Pulled Muscle, and Death, etc..)
<p> In version 3.1.0, a radiation exposure modeling based on NASA's studies has been partially
implemented to make it realistic. There are 3 possible type of radiation events : (A). The Baseline
(B).the Galactic Cosmic Radiation (GCR) (C). Solar Energetic Event (SEP). Each with different level
of radiation with SEP the highest level of exposure. The 3 body regions where the exposure are to be
tracked are (1) Blood Forming Organ (BFO) (2) Ocular (3) Skin. In our modeling, there are 3 intervals
(or counters) for the exposure: (1) 30 days (2) Annual (3) Career. e.g. for BFO, the max limits are
set to be 250 mSV for 30 days, 500 mSV for Annual and 1000 mSV for Career.
<p> As a side note here, the Mars rover Curiosity received an average dose of 300 milli-sieverts (mSv)
over the 180-day journey. Note that 300 mSv is equivalent to 24 CAT scans, or more than 15x the annual
radiation limit for a worker in a nuclear power plant.
<p> One must be reminded that in the forseeable future, Mars is a by-and-large dangerous and
unforgiving world. Survival hinges upon how well each settler responds to situations and how well
they pull together as a team. Equipment can malfunction and building break down and require
maintenance. There are times when one has to go out on a rescue mission to tow a stranded vehicle
back to the base.

<h3>(IV). Social/Professional Interactions and Achievements</h3>
<p> mars-sim simulates the overall professional relationship for the future settlers on Mars.
In general, this social aspect is modeled by a 3-tier relationship indicator showing how close
or how adversarial between any two individuals.
Each settler bears an imprint of one's gender, date of birth, weight, height, BMI, age, blood type,
a personality profile based on Myers-Briggs Type Indicators (MBTI) and Five Factor Model (FFM), and
a set of natural attributes (such as Agility, Academic Aptitude, Attractiveness, Conversation,
Endurance, Experience Aptitude, Leadership, Strength, Stress Resilience, and Teaching).
These characteristics set in motion on how well a person interact with his/her team and others
socially and professionally.
<p> One can track how a person relate with another with the Relationship Tab. Suffice to say that
each settler with one's personality types, coupling with his unique set of natural attributes and
professional skills, create the destiny of his/her own.
<p> A person's Science Tab lists the ongoing and finished scientific studies with others and the
scientific achievement in his/her areas of endeavour.

<h3>(V). Interconnectiveness</h3>
<p> The Settlement Map provides each settlement a visual overview of the whereabout of each building,
settler, bot and vehicle. You can see how buildings are seamlessly interconnected via hallways or
tunnels. The Settlement Info Window provides clues on how well each system is functioning behind the
scene. No two settlements are alike. You can make each settlement unique by having distinguishable
mission footprints and infrastructures and by ways of how settlers behaves.
<p> Beginning version 3.1.0, each settlement has an objective-- the overall development objective
that certain activities such as manufacturing and food production processes tend to gear toward.
<br/>
<br/>The 6 possible objectives :
<br/>(1). Crop Farm
<br/>(2). Manufacturing
<br/>(3). Research Center
<br/>(4). Transportation Hub
<br/>(5). Trade Town
<br/>(6). Tourism

<br/><br/>
<p> As settlements grow and more buildings are shipped in or being constructed on site according to
the needs, a diversity of specialty functions would result. It's not difficult to imagine a settlement
become an university town housing numerous laboratories attracting academically driven settlers if it
heavily sponsors research studies on those disciplines. A green town may be developed to house a large
number of interonnected greenhouses having a company of biologists/botanists experimenting with
improving crop rotations and genetics that give better crop yield. A maker-haven is one that consists
of a lot of workshops with machineries providing high industrial throughput and attracting influx of
creative individuals to prototype and tinker with tools to produce new parts and equipment. Also,
with more prospectors arriving on Mars, mining outposts will be the next frontier and they will sprout
up everywhere along a resource-rich basin/region, fortifying the local supply chain for raw minerals.
