DESCRIPTION:Anne-Marlene Rüede\nMars’ ice caps hold the secret to the p
 lanet's climate\, hydrological processes and is a likely place to contain 
 traces of life\, should they exist. A crewed mission to the surface of Mar
 s\, with the objective of drilling into the Northern ice cap and analysing
  the samples in-situ would therefore advance our knowledge of the formatio
 n of planets and the prevalence of life in the Solar System. Furthermore\,
  because the North Polar region provides an easy access to water ice\, thi
 s area has the potential of sustaining a long-term human presence. This ta
 lk will propose the design of a crewed mission with high technology readin
 ess level\, using a systems engineering approach and scenario testing\, an
 d discusses the opportunities offered by the Space Launch System vehicle\,
  deployable structures and the inclusion of water ice into the life suppor
 t system. The need for a crane system between Mars’ orbit and surface wi
 ll also be discussed.\n\nAnne-Marlene Rüede is a recent graduate from the
  Swiss Polytechnic Federal Institute in Lausanne. She has majored in Archi
 tecture and Space technologies with the objective of becoming a space and 
 extreme environments architect. She has worked on various projects\, from 
 the design and model of a six unit CubeSat\, which is now part of the perm
 anent exhibition in the Swiss embassy in China\, to mission scenario and a
 rchitecture of Mars missions with crew. She has also worked on transportat
 ion systems on Earth and in space\, such as crane systems in Mars orbit.\n
 \nDr. Anton B. Ivanov has been recently (2017) appointed as the Director o
 f the Space Center at the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in 
 Moscow\, Russia. This work was initiated when Dr. Ivanov was Scientist wit
 h the EPFL Space Center. He is currently the project manager for the CubET
 H CubeSat project\, study leader for the CHEOPS satellite and was responsi
 ble for the Minor in Space Technologies EPFL. After receiving his PhD in P
 lanetary Science from Caltech in 2000\, Dr Ivanov joined the Jet Propulsio
 n Laboratory to contribute to Mars Global Surveyor\, Mars Odyssey\, Mars E
 xpress and Mars Science Laboratory projects. From 2007 until 2017\, Dr. Iv
 anov was a scientist with the EPFL Space Center and the Swiss Space Center
 .\n\nClaudio Leonardi is the head of the Clip-Air project at the Swiss Pol
 ytechnic Federal Institute in Lausanne (EPFL) since 2009\, and is in charg
 e of the architecture\, the structure and the management of the project. H
 e also manages coordination and development in the fields covered by the C
 lip-Air project: transportation\, modular logistics\, mechanics\, structur
 e\, architecture. Claudio Leonardi has already been involved in a number o
 f major projects\, including Solar Impulse. He has also collaborated with 
 Yves Rossy aka Jetman.\n\nTatiana Volkova is an aerospace engineer & space
  architect and graduated from Bauman Moscow Technical University and Ecole
  Polytechnique Paris. Tatiana's personal goal is to drive the growth of in
 novation in the field of architecture in extreme conditions and is passion
 ate about habitat design overall efficiency. She is currently conducting h
 er PhD research at the Swiss Polytechnic Federal Institute in Lausanne (EP
 FL) in the field of architecture in the extreme environments. \n
