Global Exploration and Planet Investigation Mars (GEPI Mars) is a project of Space Research Center Warsaw, Poland, whose theoretical study is being held. GEPI Mars targets manned landing on Mars after the year 2021. Travel schedule 1. Departure from Earth and reaching the Earth orbit 2. Start to Mars of all people and equipment 3. Reaching Mars orbit 4. Choosing of suitable landing site for people and equipment 5. Landing 6. Construction the Mars Base called Gorno Marsiantsi 7. Tests of power systems, oxygen systems, extraterrestrial planting sites, communication systems and hydrogen and oxygen fuel generation systems 8. Developing of technology for terrestrial fuel achievement (diesel, gasoline, methane) from local waste 9. Decision of the crew to return or not 10. Return of the volunteers with return spaceship GEPI Mars requirements for the crew and equipment 1. The crew should consist of people living in poverty and able to solve many emerging problems. 2. The people and the equipment travel independently. Their course is controlled by the mission commander. 3. The whole Mars station is constructed from previously prepared elements ready to connect and vacuum. They should provide the proper pressure for humans and plants. 4. The crew has possibility to travel on the Mars surface, to make construction works and to achieve water and other elements from the planet atmosphere and soil. GEPI Mars Gorno Marsiantsi station modules 1. SHATRA-PALATKA habitation module This module provides dormitory rooms, lavatory, bath, rest room and video room for the astronauts. It allows also communication with Earth through DVB-S systems. 2. HAPNI food production module Provides possibility to grow plants. It also produces oxygen. 3. GORI power module Provides heat and electricity for the explorers. 4. KAZHI communication system Provides communication with EARTH. It consists of a receiver/transmitter located on the station. It is supported by the POSHTA system located on terrestrial and Martian orbit. Due to large transmission power satellite transmission support is needed. 5. VOZI fuel production system Provides fuel for the martian exploration vehicles. GEPI Mars Manned Spaceship Fleet 1. Eight CHAO 3-seat spaceships 2. Two MAHALO 6-seat space buses 3. Four ZEMYA spaceships 4. Four MARS spaceships The combination of CHAO-ZEMYA spaceships is used to depart from the Earth. The CHAO spaceships dock the MAHALO buses. The CHAO spaceship lands on Mars together with MARS spaceship The CHAO-MARS spaceships depart from Mars to MAHALO spaceships The CHAO spaceship lands on Earth. The duration of the mission is not stated. References: 1. Stanislaw LEM, "Cyberiada", ISBN 83-08-03208-7 2. Richard P. Feynman, "Pan raczy zartowac, panie Feynman", ISBN 978-83-240-0776-9
