The 2012 Mission to Mars, or Mission Red Sun, was the fourth mission in the Hawking III.

Mission Purpose

To provide additional evidence to the ongoing debate as to whether Mars was ever geologically active or any other interesting geological discussions, a team of six astronauts flew to Mars, collected samples, analysed these samples, took photospectro analysis of Phobos and Deimos, and returned to Earth

Continuity

• The AYSE drive and the hab were rescued in a prior rescue mission

• The hab has landed near OCESS and AYSE is in orbit, only a few km lower than the ISS

• Patrick Melanson (Co-Pilot)
