Campaigns for Mars analog infrastructure
Across investment and outreach campaigns
MARS-V Spot event
MARS-V connects Mars research with the conditions and opportunities of the Mongolian landscape. The effort combines technical and organizational work: EVA suit research and prototyping, collaboration with UCCS for MDRS work, investment proposals, and public campaigns.

EVA suit research and prototyping involved UCCS collaborators for MDRS. The project connected design choices with the practical requirements of analog field work: people need equipment that supports observation, movement, and operations in a demanding environment.
Fundraising and public presentations
Investment proposals and in-person campaigns supported the technical work. Those campaigns reached more than 4,500 stakeholders, covered roughly 8,000 kilometers, and helped secure $5.8 million in investment commitments for analog infrastructure.
MARS-V Spot brought the effort to an audience of more than 1,000 people, alongside national media appearances. Explaining the project clearly was part of building the support it needed.
