In other words, Mars has systems of air, water, ice, and geology that all interact to produce the a Martian environment which might have been able to sustain life about a billion years after its formation and –in certain areas- maybe still as of today.

In close cooperation with the Executive Office, it manages all Mission Control Center related tasks, such as establishing the infrastructure, ensuring safety for all staff members, crews and equipment involved, providing services for staffing & crew training etc.. and is the focal point for all expeditions.
