Explore Mars is excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Humans to the Moon and Mars Summit (H2M2).

H2M2 will gather the top experts in Moon and Mars architecture, science, human health, innovation, policy, STEM education, and innumerable other disciplines who will provide the latest news about and generate momentum for our Moon and Mars goals.

“We live in consequential times,” said Explore Mars CEO Chris Carberry. “By the end of this decade, humanity will return to the surface of the Moon. We need to work together to ensure that we follow up this achievement by landing humans on the surface of Mars in the 2030s. ”

H2M2 2025 will focus on questions that include:

• Moon, Mars, and the New Administration: What Are the Trump Administration's Plans for Space?
• How can we leverage the Moon to enable humans to Mars?
• What can the commercial sector do to advance our Moon and Mars goals?
• What are the most significant technological hurdles (or long poles) that need to be overcome before humanity steps on the surface of Mars?
• The Skilled Trades Video Partnership: Inspiring Students and Prospective Tradespeople
• How should Gateway be used to support lunar operations and advance humans to Mars?
• How can innovations from Mars-focused R&D drive value and improvement on Earth, and how can stakeholders contribute?
• What are the major Mars and lunar science achievements over the past year – and what are our objectives before humans first step foot on the surface?
• How can we most effectively protect the physical and mental health of astronauts voyaging to and from the Moon and Mars?

During Humans to the Moon and Mars Week, attendees can look forward to:

1. Networking Receptions: Rub shoulders and connect with key figures in the space industry.

The objective of H2M2 is to advance the goal of a sustainable and permanent human presence on the Moon beginning in the late 2020s and on Mars no later than the 2030s. To advance this objective, H2M2 aims to foster synergy and shared commitment between governmental entities and the private sector, ensuring a united and successful approach to a sustainable future in space for all humanity.
