TRAINING FOR THE NEXT ERA OF SPACEFLIGHT
RedMars connects guided learning, spacecraft systems simulation, mission operations practice, and STAR-aligned evidence portfolios in RedMars Portal.
Build your understanding step by step through structured lessons, interactive engineering exercises, realistic scenarios, and competency-based progression. Apply what you learn, preserve the evidence behind your performance, and use the results to understand where to go next.
Capability Overview
Learn
Begin Spaceflight Fundamentals through guided courses built around systems, constraints, vocabulary, and mission context.
Begin Spaceflight FundamentalsDesign
Explore spacecraft components, subsystem interfaces, mission constraints, and engineering decisions.
Explore the PlatformSimulate
Open realistic simulation exercises for spacecraft systems, subsystem behavior, and scenario experimentation.

Enter mission operations practice for telemetry review, procedures, anomaly recognition, and console discipline.
View the ExperienceProve
Connect learning, simulation, practical work, and debrief artifacts into a STAR-aligned evidence portfolio that can be reviewed over time.
Read the STAR FrameworkIntroductory Mission
Your first RedMars mission takes you through the fundamentals of spaceflight, places you in the seat of a flight controller, and brings you behind the scenes of spacecraft systems engineering and mission design.
The experience connects guided learning, engineering exercises, mission operations practice, and STAR-aligned evaluation so that each step becomes part of a traceable readiness record: what you learned, what you practiced, how you performed, and what should come next.
Connected Workflow
RedMars connects education, engineering practice, simulation, mission operations, and evidence review so that progress in one experience informs what comes next.

RedMars Portal
The Portal brings RedMars Learning, systems simulation, mission operations practice, account status, and STAR-aligned evidence into one connected experience. STAR defines the competency framework; Portal manages each user's Evidence Portfolio and pathway progress while capturing the conditions, decisions, artifacts, attempts, and review context behind each readiness claim.
MCC-RedMars
Use realistic, operationally inspired consoles to monitor spacecraft systems, review telemetry, follow procedures, investigate anomalies, coordinate with a team, and work through mission scenarios that can become STAR simulation and operational-scenario evidence. The interfaces are designed for training and practice. They are representative environments and are not copies of proprietary flight-control software.
Systems Simulation
Create spacecraft models, connect components and subsystems, inspect live state, experiment with configurations, and observe how system behavior changes under nominal and off-nominal conditions. These exercises support applied-knowledge and practical evidence for systems reasoning.
RedMars Learning
Work through guided spaceflight lessons, complete knowledge checks, launch related engineering exercises, and apply your understanding in mission operations scenarios. Portal keeps the learning path connected to the evidence trail rather than treating course completion as the finish line.
Built for the Spaceflight Community
Build practical spaceflight knowledge and start converting classroom concepts into evidence through connected exercises and scenarios.
Explore spacecraft systems, interfaces, mission constraints, trade decisions, and subsystem specialization evidence.
Practice telemetry interpretation, procedures, anomaly investigation, escalation, and operational reasoning.
Connect instruction with interactive exercises, simulations, assessments, evidence categories, and competency progression.
Move beyond passive content and begin developing a structured, evidence-oriented understanding of modern space missions.

STAR
A proposed competency-based certification framework for defining, assessing, and recognizing spaceflight workforce readiness.
STAR distinguishes training exposure from demonstrated capability. It connects competencies, authentic professional activities, performance levels, evidence portfolios, validity review, entrustment, and credential scope so learners and organizations can trace how readiness claims are supported.
In Portal, STAR becomes practical infrastructure: competencies map to activities, activities generate evidence, and evidence supports clearer conversations about readiness, scope, supervision, and recurrence.
Level 1
Mission fundamentals, safety culture, the space environment, systems literacy, and baseline competencies for entry into spaceflight work.
Level 2
Telemetry, commanding concepts, ground systems, anomaly response, subsystem awareness, and control-room decision discipline.
Level 3
Vehicle procedures, command authority, anomaly management, integrated spacecraft operations, and human spaceflight systems.
Level 4
Advanced crew operations, astronaut candidate readiness, flight systems, mission specialist roles, and spacecraft command preparation.
For programs connecting foundational academics, CubeSat-style experience, applied projects, and early mission operations evidence.
For builders turning subsystem knowledge into design judgment, trade studies, simulations, and technical practice.
For operators practicing telemetry interpretation, procedures, anomaly response, communication, and control-room discipline.
For future crew candidates building evidence across knowledge, systems, operations, human factors, and role-specific readiness.
Beta Contribution
Become one of the early RedMars users helping refine the learning paths, interfaces, simulations, scenarios, and evidence workflows that connect study with demonstrated readiness.
