MMARS is a division of the Atacama Cooperative Center of Excellence for Space Studies (ACCESS), a TATA initiative for the Chilean Bicentennial milestone.

The Atacama Atacama Desert of Chile, the driest place on Earth, is the closest analogue of a Moon or Mars environment making it a highly desired test-bed for proving innovative concept models inspired by the vision of humanity in space. It is time. There are no borders in space for those who seek ACCESS.

TATA is negotiating land for the worlds first Astrobiology Reserve in Atacama and ACCESS through the 10 year, $20M InnovaChile "Programme to Attract International Centres of Excellence for Competitivity." Join us as we help usher Chile into their bicentenial with global participation in a multifaceted Centre of Excellence that will take us out of this world.

In the spirit of "Revolution through Competition" TATA welcomes the world to the ground floor on a platform dedicated to increase the momentum of ACCESS to space. Letters of Interest for collaborative agreements between entrepreneurs, researchers, institutions, and agencies are now being accepted.

Check back soon for details on competitions for the research and development of viable innovations associated with building and operating a fully simulated Mars habitat and Lunar outpost.

Dream it, then do it.
