This page lists projects and groups hosted by DevelopSpace. DevelopSpace intends to host projects and groups that are relevant to DevelopSpace's mission of building up the technical foundations for human space activities. Projects/groups do not need to be created or operated by DevelopSpace in order to be hosted here -- if you would like additional information on hosting your project with DevelopSpace, please email [mailto:info@developspace.net info@developspace.net].

==Active Projects==

*[[Minimalist Human Mars Mission]]. Project aims to design a near-term feasible human Mars mission based on the concept of sending humans one way to Mars (possibly with an initial emergency return capability). This initial Mars outpost could also be the nucleus of an initial Mars colony. Includes reference data, system analysis, and investigation of design options.

*[[Interplanetary Transfer Vehicle]]. This project presents design concepts for interplanetary transfer vehicles that could be used to carry out deep space missions envisioned by the “Flexible Path” scenario described in the final report of the Augustine Commission. These include missions to lunar orbit, libration points, Geostationary Orbit (GEO), Near Earth Objects (NEOs), as well as a lunar flyby. The focus of the analysis presented here is on interplanetary transfer vehicle concepts which can be realized in the near-term, i.e. by the end of the 2010s or the beginning of the 2020s. The selection of preferred interplanetary transfer vehicle designs is based on a comprehensive integrated performance analysis of mission types and propulsive capabilities.

==Project Proposals==
*[[Mars Solar Power]]. Project to investigate the feasibility of solar power on the surface of Mars for either as the sole primary power source or in conjunction with other power source (e.g., nuclear reactors). Includes reference data, system analysis, and investigation of design options.
*[[Modular Interstellar Ship]]. This project presents design concepts for modular interstellar vessels that could be used to carry humans on journeys to the stars and back.

==Hosted Groups and Teams==
*[[MIT_SSAG|MIT Space Systems Architecture Group]]. A research group in the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, focusing on human space exploration [http://www.casinoenligne555.org/ casino] architecture.

*[[MIT Rocket Team]]. A student group at MIT devoted to getting students involved with projects related to rocketry (chiefly focused on liquid fuel propulsion).
