The Mars Gravity Biosatellite Program is a ground-breaking undertaking to study the effects of Martian gravity on mammals. We are taking the first step towards human missions to Mars - and beyond. Data from this mission will make a significant contribution to our understanding of fundamental space biology and greatly advance human space exploration.
The Mars Gravity Biosatellite program began in 2001 as a Mars Society initiative called Translife, designed to study the effects of Mars-level gravity on mammals.
