Previously on Mars.

I will miss my sister,

she's my heart and soul.

For something like this to work,

it has to be personal.

We had traveled
further than anyone ever

had to get to Mars.

But before we even
entered Mars's atmosphere

it was like she was
trying to push us away.

Retro rockets about to fire.

And once we landed, she
pushed even harder.

What is Ben's status?

How far did we overshoot?

75.3 kilometers.

Come on, let's fix this.

It's our guys up there.

The workshop module.

What if they can make it there?

Live in it?

They'd have a chance.

Wheels 5 and 6 just locked.

Suspension system compromised.

We have to walk.

It's -35 degree.

It will be -70 by nightfall.

We'll freeze to death out there.

Jesus.

Ben?

Far off course,
we struggle to make our way

to a temporary habitat.

We need to cut the suit.

Fighting just to stay alive.

Dammit, Ben.

Ben, stay with me.

Come on, come on.

Still our mission remained,
to find a safe haven for the

first human settlement on Mars.

But getting there had
killed the best among us.

I was in command now

and I knew if we couldn't
find a permanent home

in this place...

the Mars Mission would die.

When did
you first know you wanted

to go to Mars?

When we were 6,
my sister and I were at the

planetarium, and it
felt like we were looking

at the planets.

We had these alien dolls in
our hands that my mom had just

bought us, and I told my
sister I was going up there,

that I was going to Mars,

and she said
she was coming with me.

But when the call
came for this mission,

only one of us was
going to be on that ship.

They say twins have one mind.

But it's sharing a heart
that's the problem.

The only way to separate
it is to break it.

We all knew someone
could die here.

But no one ever thought
it would be Ben.

We picked a place to
bury him outside camp

out in the regolith.

The sun makes this
pattern on the ground,

when it sets behind the cliffs.

They're looking to me
for answers Joon,

and I can see the
doubt in their eyes.

I stay away from the
portholes because I'm afraid

if I see my reflection
it will be in mine too.

I need to be strong for them.

As strong as he was.

The repairs on
the rover are done.

We're able to take what
we could from the original

landing site, but the
workshop module's designed

for 2 people
working 8 hours a day.

Not a crew of 5 full time.

Marta is preparing the drones
to start scanning surrounding

lava tubes for ice and
the geology we need to

deploy the dome.

Javier is optimizing
WAVARs for water.

And Robert is doing everything
he can to upgrade the

environmental systems to
keep the air breathable.

But the mods to the workshop
are already taxing the

electrical system.

We'd be lucky if it
supports us for 8 months,

assuming Amelie can keep
this crew from falling apart.

Where is the cover?

But, this... why, why?

It's all covered in dust.

Let's see if it's
something from here.

Javier, todo bien?

Javier?

Esta bien,
esta bien, esta muy bien.

Robert...

if you open a cover, close it.

If you open a box, close it.

Patience, patience.

You don't just cannibalize
my equipment when you need to

jury-rig a goddamn
junction box.

I needed
the fan to cool the upgrades,

it was the only option.

You have redundancies.

That's not the point.

If I don't fix this now,

we are going to have problems
with the upgrades later on.

Robert.

Come help me with
the recycling system.

Now!

This
system is built for 2 people.

If you want to keep
breathing I need the hardware.

Why don't
we take a little break.

Amelie, I can't.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes!

Tell me when you have it.

Please.

Nothing comes.

Okay, breathe with me.

It's raining.

The drops are
hitting a tin roof.

It's just a wash
of sound above me.

And what does it smell like?

Lavender.

Lavender.

Now open your eyes.

Thank you.

You're
welcome, now go back to work.

Lavender.

Even in those
rare moments of quiet,

we could feel the storm
was always looming.

We knew if we didn't find a
home with the resources to

sustain us, Mars would kill
us in any of a thousand ways.

Mars itself is your enemy.

You have a shared common
enemy on Mars trying to

kill you every day.

Mars.

Photographs reveal a
cratered landscape,

much like the moon and
apparently hostile to life.

It's actually
the lack of resources that we

have to worry about on Mars.

We still have to figure out
how to create them there.

When we get
to Mars we need to solve our

basic needs and the basic
needs are going to be food,

water, shelter and a
particular protection

from radiation.

The longer
you spend on the surface,

the more dangerous it is so
you have to get underground

and get away from radiation.

There are a number
of strategies that can

be employed.

One of them could
be the lava tube.

Rising from the
flame, giant volcanoes.

Volcanoes have
existed on Mars for hundreds

of millions of years,
and as they died away,

the tubes that carry
the lava solidify and become

huge long rooms.

We can inflate a habitat
within a lava tube,

but you have to be near them
so knowing where we are on

Mars and what the
features are that we can use

are extremely important.

You'll have to be
looking for water also.

Now Mars has some
trapped water resources.

Everything
we've learned about life

as we know
it requires liquid water.

Full stop.

So that's why the mantra for
Mars exploration has been

thus far follow the water.

There's the possibility
that there could be ice within

lava tubes and we're
looking to see, you know,

what the feasibility of that is.

We're still in the process
of figuring out where those

lava tubes are and mapping
them is not a trivial thing.

They're not so easy to find
because they're underground.

So there's no shortage of hard,

technical challenges that
need to be addressed before

we can have a sustained human
presence on Mars.

It's really important that
we figure out how to get

some of the basics.

We'll use
a set of drones to find a

lava tube with the conditions
we need to deploy a

small domed habitat.

And that
little foothold will become

humankind's first real home
beyond the gravity well.

Olympus town.

Charged and ready.

Unmanned aerial vehicles.

We watched as
our drones took off into the

alien sky, knowing they were
the only hope of finding the

shelter and the resources
we'd need to deploy the dome

and complete our mission.

But if we couldn't find enough
ice to supply settlement,

we'd be stranded

and the Mars mission would end.

There's
much to learn about Mars.

I mean, we're still as of
this week finding things out.

We've sent orbiters,
we've sent rovers,

we've sent things there
to explore it to get to

know more about it.

We have the interest and are
on the edge of the robotic

technology that would allow us
to get there and do that work.

So we're in
the process of right now what

we call precursor missions,
robotic missions that go

before the humans go
so we can characterize what

the resource is, where
we would send humans.

Something
that people might find a bit

surprising is that
with modern orbiters,

we've covered only
about 3% of the surface.

We just don't have the data
volume coming back from Mars

to get anywhere close to
mapping the whole surface.

If we want to have humans
landing on the surface of

Mars, we want to make sure
that the place where they're

going is safe, and you can't
do that with 100 meter-per

pixel resolution images.

That tells you diddly squat.

We have to prove that the
resources are there and so we

like to think that ExoMars is
the next step to building up

the knowledge for that
future manned mission.

ExoMars comprises
2 major elements.

The first element is
the trace gas orbiter,

which will launch in 2016.

I've been mostly involved
with the main imaging system.

We like to talk about it being
the best color cameras that's

ever been sent to Mars.

We have stereo capability.

That means that we can
construct a 3D-view of what

the martian surface looks like.

I used to think of it almost
as a sort of a dead world.

As you start to get more
and more immersed, I mean,

you see fantastic phenomenon
on the surface of Mars.

It just grabs you: polar caps,
looking at these new impact

craters, the dune fields and
you're seeing them moving

across the surface, dust
devils running around the place,

and that to me,
it's brought the place to life.

I get a real kick out of
looking at data from an object

or from a surface or
from something that no

one's ever seen before.

ExoMars is
important because there are

goals of the scientific
community that we want to

advance before humans get there.

Seung, Hana.

Mission Entry Phase 1.

The crew is losing faith.

Morale is slipping.

We're doing everything
we can to find a way to make

this workshop habitable until
we can find the place

in those lava tubes.

We were supposed to have two
years to find a lava tube with

enough ice to supply the water
necessary to survive on Mars.

But without the infrastructure
of Daedalus to sustain us

while we searched, we'd be
lucky if we had a few months.

Anything?

Hmm, either the
candidate skylights don't have

the horizontal
entrances we would need

to bring in equipment,

or the tubes the
skylights connect to don't

have the subsurface
topography and ice access

a settlement would need.

Keep looking.

Ugh, if
I push these modifications any

further we risk overloading
the entire electrical system.

Every piece of hardware
we've got is running

into this junction box.

It's too much.

We don't have a choice Robert.

♪ ♪

We have one
shot to deploy that dome.

It doesn't go back in the box.

There's a pilot in charge of a

multi-billion-dollar mission.

If the conditions for
settlement are not there,

we need to use our
second ship, Vega,

as a life raft and
forget about Phase 2.

If they deploy on
the surface, every nation from

the International Mars
Science Foundation will vote

to pull the plug on Mars.

Was already short,

we cannot tolerate
any more failure.

IMSF is sending
a deputy to Mission Control to

assess whether
they're going to proceed or

cancel this whole thing.

You need to come to
sit before the board.

We've got an
international hero dead and

five more stuck in a utility
shack meant for two trying to

find a needle in a haystack
before their systems fail.

We don't like
the optics on this, Ed.

Ophelia was doing just fine
in the satellite business

before we bought
into your MMC initiative.

If the most
qualified astronauts on the

planet can't make it work,
how do you expect to make money

selling tickets to people
following in their footsteps?

IMSF is
already watching every move we

make, waiting for an excuse
to end this whole thing.

We need to cut bait before they

leave us holding the bag.

Are you done?

I made billions of dollars
in private enterprise

and then I did it
again and again.

Every small town car
dealer knows about profits,

bottom lines, and
cutting losses.

And they all know about fear.

You know what they
don't know about?

Foresight.

And faith.

These are my tax reports
for the last five years.

It shows my income,
investments and all my

accounts, business and
personal, onshore, offshore,

all around the world.

You look at it and you'll
find that I've invested 90%

of my own net
worth in this mission.

I've got faith.

And I'm asking for a
little bit more of yours.

Slow down IMSF, and let this
crew carry out the mission

we sent them there to do.

If they fail,
I don't care how much you

invested, we're out.

If they fail, everyone's out.

We were at a
critical stage and all I could

do was pretend I wasn't
just as worried as the

rest of them.

We haven't
been able to make the system

run more efficiently.

Report CO2 scrubber status.

CO2 scrubbing has
declined an additional 3%

since your last inquiry.

There are just too many of us.

If we can't
make the workshop safe for

long-term habitation,
we're going to need to start

considering deploying
the dome on the surface.

Then the
next ship that comes will be

a rescue mission.

We've got eight months.

We're going to use them.

As Mariner 4 passed over Mars,

it recorded on tape
tiny bits of information

to transmit back to Earth.

The track
record is probably about 50%

of the probes sent
to Mars have been successful

in accomplishing any
part of their mission.

That's not a great track record.

Mars seems
to have been a graveyard for

several spacecraft, I've
been involved in two missions

where we've had failures,
Mars Polar Lander was one.

There is more
news from NASA tonight and

like almost all the news from
the space agency this year,

it's not good.

SLM, go ahead.

This is the [inaudible]
shutdown load and go.

But there
comes a point where you think

to yourself "Ah,
this ain't gonna happen."

I'm sorry
to report that all we have is

a nominal no contact M.R. path.

Copy that,
Mod, thanks for that uh,

thanks for hanging
in there with us.

Mars is still the death planet,

it's a graveyard of
many, many spacecraft.

Mars is hard to do.

What do you
think your biggest challenge

will be on this mission?

Well, the biggest
challenge would be finding

those lava tubes, but the
unknown to me is a bigger

challenge than that.

It's a vicious planet.

The fire left them

with less than a week of oxygen.

IMSF sent me to make a decision.

Is Vega now a rescue mission?

Because if the crew no longer
has the means to find a

location in the lava tubes,
they're going to have to

deploy the dome on the surface.

They're working
on sealing off the lab now,

but we're still waiting to
hear about structural damage.

What about the drones?

Damage to the remote
system was catastrophic.

No way they fly
again without additional

supplies from Earth.

Okay, guys,
go back to your stations and

check it all again.

I'd like to speak to you about

the horizontal entrance.

Joon, please.

The nations are meeting
the day after tomorrow to

vote on how to proceed.

If they deploy the dome
on the surface, we fail.

IMSF will dissolve,
MMC will go bankrupt,

and Earth will forget about
Mars just like they forgot

about the moon.

If we can't find a site,
the Mars mission is dead.

I understand, sir.

I've thawn all I can.

We're still
leaking O2 like a sieve.

There's no
way to complete the repairs

without the equipment
that burned in the lab.

At this rate,
we've got a little more than

100 hours of breathable air.

We're running out of options.

Hana?

We will find it.

Aye-aye, captain.

Your faith is admirable,

but unfounded, Mr. Grann.

IMSF sent me here to
determine whether or not

you can stop this thing

from becoming
a global embarrassment,

but what I can tell
so far, that seems to

be an inevitability.

Ground penetrating radar
isn't going to find us a site

that isn't there, without
the drones there's no way.

My people have
done the impossible.

They can do it again.

There's nothing, sir,
we've been over the terrain

a hundred times.

We're seeing no
options for sub-surface

habitation with gamma
rays or neutron specs.

They were supposed to have
two years to find a location

with the right conditions.

And that was with
six drones in the air

twelve hours a day.

There's not a single tube that shows
any sign of a horizontal entrance.

They have to deploy.
- Wait!

I think I have something.

We ignored this horizontal
entrance because it was

clogged with breakdown debris
and too far from the nearest

candidate skylight to be
part of the same tube system.

But if we look at
the GPR scans here

you can see that entrance
leads to a tectonic cave that

passes right beside the
lava tube under this skylight.

With the right equipment
on the next ship,

we can clear the horizontal
entrance and combine

the two cave systems.

They'd have to lower
the dome in vertically,

through the skylight.

That tube is at
least two-hundred meters,

rim to floor; the winch
on the crane only has

fifty of cable.

What about the
guidelines for the Daedalus?

They've got three 35 meter
spools of cable with a

nearly identical gauge.

They splice those together,
that's 215 meters.

If the topography is right,

and the ice is there,
we can justify deployment.

Do it.

Daedalus crew, great news.

We may have found a
place for deployment.

Stand by for transmission
of coordinates.

Hello, and
welcome to Baikonur Cosmodrome

in Kazakhstan.

Counting down to the
launch of ExoMars,

the world's biggest ever
mission to the red planet.

Baikonur is the largest launch

facility in the world.

It's where the Russians have
been launching missions from

for the past 60 years,
all of the big missions have

gone from there, the Sputniks,

the Vostoks, the Soyuz.

It's the place where Gagarin
went up and did his launch.

It's sort of a holy place
I think for space scientists.

The ExoMars program is a
collaboration between the

European Space
Agency and RosCosmos,

and so there are
principal investigators,

both from Europe and
from the Russian side.

Maybe it's
a false impression that Mars

is studied in every detail,
but it is actually not mapped

in every detail completely.

Far from that.

I've been
thinking about ExoMars for

more than 16 years.

So, so that's it
over there, right?

Now it's serious guys.

What we're doing is
really rather difficult.

A lot of things
have to go right.

One minute.

One minute.

Building the instruments is
hard and maybe if you haven't

done enough test time and
you're thinking to yourself,

oh my goodness, you know,
this is going to go in

another one
of these damn rockets.

Launches are
inherently dangerous.

There's always some sort of a
risk of something blowing up.

As long as the thing
doesn't blow up when I'm

too close to it.

And we have liftoff.

The Americans have had failures,

the Europeans have had failures,

the Russians have had failures.

We check things, we recheck
them. We have checkers checking

the checkers, and how
much is enough to ensure

that you don't fail?

There she goes.

Geez, look at that!

Beautiful.

That's an experience, isn't it?

Holy smokes!

We have to
wait a little bit while things

deploy and then we're
on our way to Mars.

It gets you sort of right there.

You have this
incredible number of people

all working to send
something to a strange kind

of pinkish dot in the sky.

I really like not seeing Mars
as a challenge to overcome,

but Mars as an opportunity
