To Further the human exploration and settlement of the red planet

The Mars Society UK

This chapter – known as the Mars Society UK (or MS:UK) – has roots dating back to the same start year of the original Mars Society. The first meeting took place on the 4th July, 1998 and the guest speaker was Professor Colin Pillinger, head of the Mars Beagle 2 project. The event also marked the first time Beagle 2 had been presented to the general public.

We work to educate the public, the media and government on the benefits of exploring Mars and creating a permanent human presence on the Red Planet.

The Mars Society

The original Mars Society is the world’s largest and most influential space advocacy organisation, established by Dr. Robert Zubrin and others in 1998.

The Mars Society activities include:
