「君も火星で一緒に働いてみないか?」

アメリカ航空宇宙局(NASA)は、2030年代半ばを目指して進められている有人火星探査計画に参加するメンバーを募集するポスターを制作した。公開されているポスター画像は自由にプリントし、呼びかけに協力してほしいと「拡散希望」のアピールをしている。

募集は探検家や技術者、教師ら。ポスターに添えられた文章には「太陽系で最も大きい谷、マリネリス峡谷で働こう!黄昏時には青い日没、夜空には、フォヴォスとディモスの2つの月(火星の衛星)も見えるよ!」とある。

産経ニュースによると、NASAは2015年に公表したリポートで、宇宙船や火星滞在できる住居の建設などを発表している。2025年には、スペースシャトルの代替として開発している有人宇宙探査機「オリオン」に飛行士を2人搭乗させるテストが行われる予定。

火星を調査中 探査ローバーキュリオシティ
Curiosity at Work on Mars (01 of17)
Open Image Modal
This artist\'s concept depicts the rover Curiosity, of NASA\'s Mars Science Laboratory mission, as it uses its Chemistry and Camera (ChemCam) instrument to investigate the composition of a rock surface. ChemCam fires laser pulses at a target and views the resulting spark with a telescope and spectrometers to identify chemical elements. The laser is actually in an invisible infrared wavelength, but is shown here as visible red light for purposes of illustration. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Daybreak At Gale Crater(02 of17)
Open Image Modal
This computer-generated view depicts part of Mars at the boundary between darkness and daylight, with an area including Gale Crater beginning to catch morning light. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity Launch Vehicle(03 of17)
Open Image Modal
The Atlas V 541 vehicle was selected for the Mars Science Laboratory mission because it has the right liftoff capability for the heavy weight requirements of the rover and its spacecraft. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Mars Science Laboratory Spacecraft During Cruise(04 of17)
Open Image Modal
This is an artist\'s concept of NASA\'s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft during its cruise phase between launch and final approach to Mars. The spacecraft includes a disc-shaped cruise stage (on the left) attached to the aeroshell. The spacecraft\'s rover (Curiosity) and descent stage are tucked inside the aeroshell. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity Approaching Mars(05 of17)
Open Image Modal
The Curiosity rover is safely tucked inside the spacecraft\'s aeroshell. The mission\'s approach phase begins 45 minutes before the spacecraft enters the Martian atmosphere. It lasts until the spacecraft enters the atmosphere. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity Inside Aeroshell(06 of17)
Open Image Modal
The Curiosity rover and the spacecraft\'s descent stage are safely tucked inside the aeroshell at this point. The aeroshell includes a heat shield (on the right, facing in the direction of travel through the atmosphere) and backshell. The diameter of the aeroshell is 14.8 feet (4.5 meters), the largest ever used for a mission to Mars. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Mars Science Laboratory Guided Entry At Mars(07 of17)
Open Image Modal
The mission\'s entry, descent, and landing (EDL) phase begins when the spacecraft reaches the top of Martian atmosphere, about 81 miles (131 kilometers) above the surface of the Gale crater landing area, and ends with the rover safe and sound on the surface of Mars. During the approximately seven minutes of EDL, the spacecraft decelerates from a velocity of about 13,200 miles per hour (5,900 meters per second) at the top of the atmosphere, to stationary on the surface.

Deceleration of Mars Science Laboratory in Martian Atmosphere(08 of17)
Open Image Modal
This artist\'s concept depicts the interaction of NASA\'s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft with the upper atmosphere of Mars during the entry, descent and landing of the Curiosity rover onto the Martian surface. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Mars Science Laboratory Parachute(09 of17)
Open Image Modal
This is an artist\'s concept of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover parachute system. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity While On Parachute(10 of17)
Open Image Modal
This is an artist\'s concept of NASA\'s Curiosity rover tucked inside the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft\'s backshell while the spacecraft is descending on a parachute toward Mars. The parachute is attached to the top of the backshell. In the scene depicted here, the spacecraft\'s heat shield has already been jettisoned. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity And Descent Stage (11 of17)
Open Image Modal
This is an artist\'s concept of the rover and descent stage for NASA\'s Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft during the final minute before the rover, Curiosity, touches down on the surface of Mars. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity's Sky Crane Maneuver(12 of17)
Open Image Modal
The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) phase of the Mars Science Laboratory mission begins when the spacecraft reaches the Martian atmosphere, about 81 miles (131 kilometers) above the surface of the Gale crater landing area, and ends with the rover Curiosity safe and sound on the surface of Mars.

A Moment After Curiosity's Touchdown(14 of17)
Open Image Modal
This artist\'s concept depicts the moment immediately after NASA\'s Curiosity rover touches down onto the Martian surface. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity Mars Rover(15 of17)

This artist concept features NASA\'s Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a mobile robot for investigating Mars\' past or present ability to sustain microbial life. (credit:NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Curiosity's Close-Up(16 of17)
Open Image Modal
In this picture, the mast, or rover\'s \"head,\" rises to about 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) above ground level, about as tall as a basketball player. This mast supports two remote-sensing instruments: the Mast Camera, or \"eyes,\" for stereo color viewing of surrounding terrain and material collected by the arm; and, the ChemCam instrument, which is a laser that vaporizes material from rocks up to about 9 meters (30 feet) away and determines what elements the rocks are made of.
