World Space Week 2005 Plans
To celebrate World Space Week 2005, the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs (OOSA) invited school students from grades 5 - 8 around the world, but principally Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary , to design a base on Mars. Each participating class was asked to build a model of a Mars base that was suited to the conditions on Mars and that included everything the researchers would need to survive and work on Mars. After building the base, participating groups submitted photos and descriptions of their Mars base. The designs are posted on the OOSA website (www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/wsw/index.html) and participating classes received certificates and educational materials.
