"Mars Society's Proposed Institute: Pioneering Tech for Red Planet Settlement"

The Mars Society has announced plans to establish the Mars Technology Institute (MTI), a non-profit organization focused on developing the necessary technologies for human settlement on Mars. The institute will prioritize biotech, including genetic engineering and microbial food production, to address the challenges of labor, agriculture, and energy on the Red Planet. The MTI aims to secure funding through tax-deductible donations and investments, and it may license technologies developed by the institute to spin off into separate companies. The Mars Society is currently soliciting donations for the establishment of the MTI.

"Mars Society Launches Simulated Red Planet Mission in Canadian Arctic"

The Mars Society has begun its fifteenth simulated Red Planet analog mission in the remote Canadian Arctic. The multinational crew of five members from the UK, Australia, and the US arrived at the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) on July 15 and have started conducting scientific tests and field studies. The crew will work under Mars mission constraints and carry out geological and microbiological exploration, following up on previous investigations. The FMARS station is located on Devon Island, which resembles Mars in many ways, and the crew will spend four weeks there.
