===Observations leading to the DevelopSpace concept===

The following observations were made prior to and during the formulation of the DevelopSpace concept; taken together, these observations provide motivation for the creation of DevelopSpace.

# There exist a number of technical, financial, and political barriers to human expansion into space.
# New and more fully developed technologies, systems, and tools will be of assistance in breaking down the technical barriers to the growing human exploration and settlement of space.
# Human expansion into space captivates a large number of people around the world, although many of them are not at present actively involved in making it happen.
# Many people around the world have skills relevant to advancing the human exploration and development of space, including a great many who are not currently involved in doing so.
# Significant activity is already underway around the world in government, academia, industry, and the non-profit sector towards advancing the human exploration and development of space, although frequently much work is duplicated or lacks adequate focus to make a true contribution.
# Information technologies are advancing rapidly and can enable space development-related collaboration and the sharing of models, tools, methods, results, designs, and other knowledge. Doing so will enable an individual or group to build upon earlier work more directly and will provide greater focus as to what work is worth engaging in.
# Having an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution towards space exploration and development provides an inspiration and incentive for individuals to learn the math, science, and engineering skills involved in so doing.
# Having a chance to be actively involved in space exploration and settlement activities makes one a greater supporter of such endeavors.
# Having a common, open source resource-base on which to draw will allow government, industry, and academia to focus on the truly innovative aspects of their endeavors, rather than having to recreate existing capabilities.

A more in-depth description of the motivation for DevelopSpace can be found in the paper "[[:Image:AIAA2007-OpeningSpaceforHumanity.pdf|Opening Space for Humanity - Applying Open Source Concepts to Human Space Activities]]".

Hofstetter: /* Current Projects */ Added projects on planetary-scale Mars mobility and Mars surface water production

[[Category:Projects]]

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].

=Project Listing=

==Current Projects==

*[[Mars Planetary-Scale Human Mobility]]. Project investigates approaches for achieving human access to the entire Mars surface from a single Mars base.

*[[Mars Surface Water Production]]. Project investigates different approaches to water production from a variety of sources (atmosphere, subsurface, etc.) on the surface of Mars over a range of possible water demands from habitation-only to in-situ propellant production demands.

*[[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. Also known as the [[MinMars]] project.

*[[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). Note that this is related to the activities of the [[MinMars]] project, although is intended to stand alone as well in that it need not be tied to the particular mission architecture.

*[[Reference Library]]. The DevelopSpace reference library catalogs relevant information for space systems development. The library will be expanded over time with the aim towards providing a comprehensive set of information for the technical aspects of space activities.

*[[Open Source Engineering Tools]]. This is a DevelopSpace project to aid the space systems development by providing access to relevant, open source engineering software tools, using input provided by both DevelopSpace contributors and the wider space engineering community. We aim to both provide information on existing tools and identify areas in which new tools would be of use so as to encourage the development of such tools.

*[[Mars Surface|Mars Surface System Development]]. This project is intended to develop capabilities needed for human activities on the surface of Mars, including as related to sustaining life, expanding available infrastructure, and supporting transportation systems. In practice, this is envisioned as being achieved through various affiliated (in some cases loosely, in others more strongly) projects working in detail on specific technologies or systems.

*[[Concrete Production and Construction]]. A type of cement called Magnesium Oxychloride Cement (MOC) has shown promise in aplications on Mars and can possibly be produced locally with minimal equipment and energy input. This project will cover production processes and construction methods.

==Archived Projects==

The following projects were at one time active on DevelopSpace, but have since been completed, gone dormant, or moved their online activities elsewhere. We keep the list around as some items still may be useful as references.

*[[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.

*[[MIT_SSAG|MIT Space Systems Architecture Group]]. This was a page for a research group in the MIT Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, focusing on human space exploration architecture.

*[[MIT Rocket Team]]. A hosted set of pages for a student group at MIT devoted to getting students involved with projects related to rocketry (chiefly focused on liquid fuel propulsion). The team is still active, with their current activities described at http://rocketry.mit.edu/

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component

==Inspiration Mars==

The Inspiration Mars Foundation (IMF) is a non-for-profit organization dedicated to the goal of conducting a 2-person Mars flyby mission as a precursor to Mars surface missions. Originally, a 501-day Mars flyby mission with Earth departure in January 2018 was envisioned, but since 2014 a Mars-Venus flyby opportunity with Earth departure in 2021 has also been considered in the context of using NASA SLS and Orion-derived elements as part of the mission architecture (a 2021 Earth departure would facilitate the development schedule of these elements). The Mars flyby mission is envisioned to be carried out as a private-public partnership between IMF and NASA with a philantropic funding component
