OCR: PERSPECTIVES AND PROJECTS DEIMOS PROJECT MARS ONE PROJECT Air and water reserves are reduced through use of a very efficient hydrogen and oxygen recycling system. Energy is provided by two SNAP 8 nuclear reactors, located in the hold. The Deimos project was scheduled to be launched on May 9, 1986. The mission would have begun with the spacecraft achieving a heliocentric orbit, crossing the orbit of Mars 200 days later. The crew would then remain on Mars or in Mars orbit for 300 days, before beginning the return to Earth, a journey that would take 330 days. The Mars Exploration Module (MEM) has a generator, a rover stored in the hold, scientific equipment, and the necessary provisions for the crew's survival. At the end of the surface mission, the MEM would blast off from Mars; explosive bolts would free the MEM's central core, weighing 12.6 tons, from the lander base. This unit would then bring the crew back to the orbiting command module circling overhead at an altitude of 540 kilometers. MARS BETAT
