To Mars, Alice!

[Kevin Robert Dean]

Global Aerospace Corporation is developing a
revolutionary concept for an overall interplanetary
rapid transit system architecture for human
transportation between Earth and Mars which supports a
sustained Mars base of 20 people circa 2035. This
innovative design architecture relies upon the use of
small, highly autonomous, solar-electric-propelled
space ships, we dub Astrotels for astronaut hotels and
hyperbolic rendezvous between them and the planetary
transport hubs using even smaller, fast-transfer,
aeroassist vehicles we shall call Taxis. Astrotels
operating in cyclic orbits between Earth, Mars and the
Moon and Taxis operating on rendezvous trajectories
between Astrotels and transport hubs or Spaceports
will enable low-cost, low-energy, frequent and short
duration trips between these bodies.
