SpaceX Mars transportation infrastructure

Elon Musk and SpaceX have proposed the development of Mars transportation infrastructure in order to facilitate the eventual colonization of Mars . The design includes fully reusable launch vehicles , human-rated spacecraft , on-orbit propellant tankers , rapid-turnaround launch/landing mounts , and local production of rocket fuel on Mars via in situ resource utilization (ISRU). SpaceX's aspirational goal is to land the first humans on Mars by 2024. [1] [2]

The Interplanetary Transport System ( ITS ), [1] formerly known as the Mars Colonial Transporter ( MCT ), is SpaceX 's privately funded development project to design and build a system [2] of spaceflight technology and remote human settlements on Mars — including reusable launch vehicles and spacecraft ; Earth infrastructure for rapid launch and relaunch ; low Earth orbit , zero-gravity propellant transfer technology ; and extraterrestrial technology to enable human colonization of Mars . The technology is also envisioned to eventually support exploration missions to other locations in the Solar System including the moons of Jupiter and Saturn . [3]
