Excess Baggage

Mars Diary

Activity 2.3

When Tim Peake went to the ISS, he was able to take a few personal items with him. Everything he needed for his scientific experiments and wellbeing was already waiting for him on the ISS. But the first humans to travel to Mars will need to take sustainable food and water supplies, scientific equipment, tools to maintain their spacecraft and other machinery, communications systems, safety equipment, medical supplies and entertainment to support mental health.
