A new online collection of Mars related scientific papers has been assembled for members of the Mars Society:
The Mars Society announces the creation of an on-line library of papers dealing with Mars and available to Mars Society members. Categories of Mars papers have been established ranging from analog research stations, technologies for robotic and human Mars exploration, utilization of Mars resources, the search for life, settlement, to related societal and philosophical implications that may be expressed in fiction or non-fiction.The current Marspapers Library contains the text of all papers from the 1998 Founding Convention and the complete text and graphics of 57 previously unpublished Mars Society papers including 38 papers from the 2002 Mars Society Convention. While the public can view the abstracts of all papers, only Mars Society members can download the complete papers by logging into the members-only portion of the Mars Society web site.
The Marspapers Library was created for the Mars Society by Frank Crossman, a volunteer with the Northern California chapter, with help from our able webmaster, Harold Miller.Our intent is to expand the library well beyond the papers presented at Mars Society Conventions to include all other relevant papers of dealing with Mars exploration and settlement and related space technology and societal issues.
We are doing this to provide a service to the community and provide a strong incentive for people to join and annually renew their membership in the Mars Society.
We encourage all Mars Society members and others involved in space exploration to contribute their works to this library. Good thinking is too important to present once at a conference and then be forgotten. Make sure your papers are available to the space community forever. Submit your paper to the Marspapers Library today.
Details can be found by clicking on the Marspapers link in the left hand column of the Mars Society main web page at www.marssociety.org.
