Program to assess the best place for research and habitation modules on Mars
The Caves of Mars Project was an early 2000s program funded through Phase II[clarification needed] by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts[1][2]
to assess the best place to situate the research and habitation modules that a human mission to Mars would require.[3] The final report was published in mid 2004.[3]
