The time frame of this mission is sometime in the not-too-distant future, when humans have established a permanent base on Mars. Crew members will serve as the first crew on Mars and the relief crew en route to the planet.

While on the Martian surface, the team will have collected and analyzed a great number of planetary samples and data. This information is vital to scientists for a better understanding of the planet Mars.

Crewmembers also will have gained an appreciation for the "luxuries" of planet Earth such as air, water and food as compared to a barren planet such as Mars.
