Re: research paper
you might check out this little article: [http://www.spacedaily.com/news/mars-base-04f.html]http://www.spacedaily.com/news/mars-base-04f.html about both USA and Europe's plans for the Moon and Mars... A link about the (european) Aurora program is at the bottom.
About books... You might be better off staying on the 'net, since these subject change so fast, almost anything in print is bound to be out of date...
I know, you have to use books for your assignment, so beside the (obligatory' case for mars by Zubrin, you could make it more interesting to readd and *old* book to get an idea of plans that got nowhere...
I'm thinking about things like, say, 'Space in the 21st Century' by Richard S. Lewis, 1990, Colombia University Press, ISBN 0-231-06304-0.
1990 might sound like quite recent, but the plans and timelines in the book are already totally outdated...
Another interesting book, though not *that* much on Mars itself (one or two chapters) is The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Space Technology by Kenneth Gatland (dunno ISBN, i've only got the Dutch version here) Try to find both an old (I think it goes back to the 70's) and a newer revision, to get an idea about how plans tend to change...
Mags: Air & Space, Astronomy & Space, and Spaceflight, while not solelyy dedicated to manned flight or Mars missions, regularly have specials or interesting articles, check your library to find out if there's something interesting publised recently...
