Re: Mars direct simulation need data

If you want more information you can look at the Mars Direct home page. This has several of the original documents Robert Zubrin wrote for NASA. Since they were intended for NASA, they are pretty technical. You can get some good graphics from the Mars Society web page for Images and Charts. A couple charts give numbers for Mars Direct vehicles. You can get additional information about NASA's Design Reference Mission (DRM) from the NASA Human Spaceflight web site. An index of NASA's current Expendable Launch Vehicles (ELV) is at Kennedy Space Center ELV web page. An overview of the Russian mission plan for a manned mission to Mars is at the Energia Mars web page.
