The Mars Society was founded to further the human exploration and settlement of the Red Planet. The International Mars Society Convention presents a unique opportunity for those interested in Mars to come together and discuss the technology, science, social implications, philosophy and a multitude of other aspects of Mars exploration.
Highlights of the convention will include the latest results from the Opportunity, Mars Express, and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Phoenix missions, with the climax being the landing of the Mars Science Lab Curiosity which will be witnessed live on the final evening of the convention. Attendees will also get first-hand reports from the latest mission simulation at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station on Devon Island, 900 miles from the North Pole, and the eleventh season of the Mars Desert Research Station.

MARS MOVIE NIGHT:
“THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO”
(UK, 1966)
“In 2065,the Zero-X spacecraft launches from Glenn Field as the first attempt at a manned mission to Mars. Unknown to Captain Paul Travers and his crew of two astronauts and two scientists, criminal mastermind The Hood has infiltrated the ship to photograph Zero-X’s wing mechanism. When his foot becomes trapped in the hydraulics, The Hood causes a systems failure and Zero-X loses control. While the villain manages to extract his bloodied foot and parachute from the undercarriage, Travers and his crew eject in an escape pod and Zero-X crashes into the ocean before leaving Earth’s atmosphere. In 2067, at the conclusion of an investigation into the loss of Zero-X, the Inquiry Board of the Space Exploration Center reaches a verdict of sabotage. In the meantime, a second Mars mission has been planned. Days before the launch of the new Zero-X, International Rescue agrees to a request to organise security in view of the possibility of another sabotage threat.”
