2007 NASA Phoenix lander, and provide proof of concept for a subset of the key technologies for a later human settlement on Mars. Upon submission of Lockheed Martin's Proposal Information Package, Mars One released a Request for Proposals for the various payloads on the lander. The total payload mass of 44 kg was divided among the seven payloads as follows: Water extraction (10 kg) Soil acquisition (15 kg) Thin film solar power demonstrator (6 kg) Camera system (5 kg) Open for random proposals from the highest bidder (4 kg) Educational payload (2 kg) Winning university experiment (2 kg) Further plans A robotic rover was proposed to be launched to Mars in 2022, in order to scout a landing site for the 2027 lander and a site for the Mars One colony. At the same time, a communication satellite would be launched, enabling continuous communication with the future landed assets. For 2024, six cargo missions were proposed, in close succession, consisting of two living units, two life-support units, and two supply units; a spacecraft transporting four astronauts was proposed to meet a transit vehicle bound for Mars. For 2025, the landing module transporting four astronauts was proposed to land on Mars. They envisioned the crew to be met by the rover, and taken to the Mars One colony. Notes: The initial concept timeline slipped 2 times, with a 2-year delay each time. Work on robotic missions was suspended pending further review and future contract direction in February 2015. SpaceX had no contracts with MarsOne and the project did not appear on their launch manifest. Team and advisers The Mars One team consisted of Chief Executive Officer and co-founder Bas Lansdorp, Chief Technical Officer and co-founder Arnold Wielders, Chief Medical Officer Norbert Kraft, Mission Concept Artist Bryan Versteeg, Senior Marketing Strategist KC Frank, and Chief Information Officer Tom Van Braeckel. Mars One's team of advisers consisted of over 30 industry and scientific experts, including Mason Peck, Peter Smith, James R. Kass, K.R. Sridhara Murthi, Esther Dyson, and Robert Zubrin. Desired technology Mars One was not an aerospace company and would not have manufactured hardware. Lansdorp had assumed all major components would be available in the aerospace market, and had said Mars One had identified at least one potential supplier for each component of the mission. Launcher SpaceX mentioned in 2014 that they had been contacted by Mars One, but that accommodating Mars
