THE
JOURNEY
PHASE 02: DEEP SPACE TRANSIT
Following orbital refilling, Starship initiates the transfer burn to Mars. This 6-9 month coast phase utilizes Hohmann transfer orbits to minimize fuel consumption while maintaining crew health in zero gravity.
SURFACE
CONTACT
Touchdown confirmed on the Red Planet. ISRU fuel production systems are initializing. The first human footprints on Mars are just moments away.
