Mars Society Australia has had a long-standing
...
involvement
...
with
...
the
...
Mars
...
Desert
...
Research
...
Station
...
with
...
many
...
members
...
participating
...
in
...
expeditions
...
there
...
and
...
providing
...
science
...
and
...
mission
...
support.
...
We
...
applaud
...
The
...
KiwiSpace
...
Foundation’s crew
...
to
...
MDRS
...
and
...
believe
...
that
...
it
...
will
...
be
...
of
...
great
...
benefit
...
to
...
those
...
taking
...
part
...
in
...
the
...
expedition
...
and
...
to
...
space
...
outreach
...
and
...
education
...
in
...
New
...
Zealand.
...
We
...
look
...
forward
...
to
...
supporting
...
the
...
expedition
...
in
...
any
...
way
...
possible.
...
We hope
...
that
...
the
...
Kiwi
...
mars
...
project
...
will
...
be
...
the
...
first
...
of
...
many
...
such
...
projects
...
involving
...
collaboration
...
between
...
New
...
Zealand,
...
Australia
...
and
...
elsewhere
...
and
...
of
...
many
...
Mars-related
...
research,
...
education,
...
and
...
outreach
...
programs
...
in
...
New
...
Zealand.
