Consideration is given to the facilities in earth orbit that would be required to prepare for a manned mission to Mars. It is suggested that the facilities required for the development of technology for a Mars mission include the Space Station, a variable gravity research station, and an assembly dock, in addition to ground facilities. The types of research that would be conducted at each of these facilities are examined.
