MO Crew Composition

This is a subtopic of the main page, Mission.

Crew Size and Ratio
Four is the smallest possible group size because of the different skills that need to be present in the first team leaving for Mars. Working with a larger group would increase the cost and complexity of getting to Mars. Each team will be composed of two males and two females.
