This is not “just” another Mars mission
Demonstrate that everybody can participate in space
exploration
Professionals and Non Professionals
Using Internet to spread their knowledge
Selected Project: Mars Montgolfiere Microaerobot
Mission Statement:
“To send an Aerobot to Mars to investigate the existence of
water and life”
First we will test the mission here in Earth

The TMSE (The Mars Society - Spain) had the initial idea at the
end of 2000: Start a Mars Mission as a good way to advertising and
motivate people to join the society
In 2001 TMSE and OEPT (Space for Everybody Org.) decided
to cooperate in this endeavor
This Summer the project organization was established

Who we are
The TMSE (The Mars Society - Spain)
OEPT (Space for Everybody Org.)
Space professionals from Industries, Agencies and
Universities
Space Amateurs
Curious People
Countries: Argentina, Canada, England, France, Italy, Mexico and
Spain.
The Organization

The Organization
Main Obstacles
Motivation Decision MakingCommunicationCommunication Decision Making
Project done in a free time basis
We are not paying money
We are not offering a Degree
Mars Mission with a Scientific and Technologic Goal
Possibility to work with space professionals from agencies,
industries or universities with very different backgrounds
Learning process
29-09-2001 TMSE - OEPT 9
The Organization
Main Obstacles
Motivation Decision MakingCommunication
People from different countries and cultures
Different languages
Internet offers us the possibility of virtual Meetings thanks to IRC
The E-mail is our main communication tool
The official languages are written Spanish and written English they
are easier to understand than oral Spanish or oral English

The Organization
Main Obstacles
Motivation Decision MakingCommunication
Everybody participates but we cannot vote for everything
The E-mail forum is used by participants to discuss the ideas
A Board takes the decisions taking into account everybody’s
thoughts and common sense

Mars Montgolfiere Microaerobot - GANIMA
Mission Statement:
“To send an Aerobot to Mars to investigate the existence of
water and life”
Two Objectives:
To operate a scientific payload which will look for water and
life in Mars
To proof the successful deployment of a solar balloon in
Mars
The Project
29-09-2001 TMSE - OEPT 14
The Balloon
Hot Air Balloon: Montgolfiere
Similar to the one that Pioneer Astronautics Tested in the
upper Earth Atmosphere
Sealed in a capsule with a volatile liquid such as water,
methanol, or ammonia pre-inserted in the balloon bag
All these fluids have molecular weights lower than CO2
These will increase the payload capability without the need of
carrying all the gas like in superpressure balloons
The Project
29-09-2001 TMSE - OEPT 15
The Mission
To operate a scientific payload which will look for water and
life in Mars
It is envisioned to carry small penetrators that will be dropped
from the gondola
These will increase the life time of the mission while
achieving the science objective
To proof the successful deployment of a solar balloon in Mars
