Disclaimer: this is just an outline of the surface base and may be subject to change.
Martian Surface Base
Phase 1
Use a rover to scout for an ideal landing location.
Phase 2
Launch, assemble and land the Martian Base and lander/ascender.
Phase 3
Land rations and other supplies at the base.
Phase 4
Transport and land the crew at the base.
The surface base will consist of two habitat modules, one laboratory module, two greenhouses, one lander/ascender, emergency escape craft and one or two rovers. Everything will be sent throughout multiple missions. The modules will have disposable parachutes attached to them prior to landing to aid in the descent, and in some cases engines may be used as well. An array of satellites will be set up in LMO, HMO, LEO, HEO. Both the Martian surface base and Earth will have large satellite dishes for communications between bases, space stations, spacecraft and ground control.
