ill take 10

astronauts to be the pioneers to the new

Mars colony.

utpost Alpha w

ill be the major center for the m

ission, and provide a safe hom

! The design of Outpost A

lpha will have 6

assembled pods, and

2 inflatable pods to m

ake up the living quarters, food production, life support system

s, recreational areas, mission

operations, science research and more.

! The outpost has plans to expand and add more pods as m

! Before being sent to M

Alpha’s architecture, daily living routines, and the technology that runs the

“city” on Mars.

rovers were sent before hum

! Oh no! The astronauts aw

ake on the morning of July 2

4th to find

out that one of the pods has been damaged. You can’t seem

to get through the com

munications pod door, but you can see that

there are some broken pieces on the control panel, and som

e pieces m

ight be missing.

as the first person on the scene when she

went to w

talk with earth. W

hile there are two

satellites, the damaged one w

as the main satellite, and the other one is

on a different orbit and is not currently usable ! They w

ill not be able to comm

unicate to set up the other outpost for next year, or com

municate any key inform

ation they find ! The control panel helps to control several key pieces of O

utpost Alpha,

including food production and breathable air for the crew. W

hile there is enough to last a little w

hile, earth helps control the vital systems.
