Reuters photographer Jim Urquhart spent time in the Utah desert at the Mars Desert Research Station observing a crew simulate what conditions would be like on the red planet. Researchers with the Austrian Space Forum in partnership with the Ibn Battuta Center spent time in the northern Sahara conducting experiments in engineering, planetary surface operations, astrobiology, and geophysics. -- Lloyd Young ( 27 photos total) 这组图片的基本意思是，美国和摩洛哥科学家正在研究人类居住在火星的情形。路透社记者Jim Urquhar对设置在美国犹他州沙漠地区的“火星沙漠研究站”进行了报道，这些科学家来自来自研究组织“奥地利太空论坛”（Austrian Space Forum）同摩洛哥伊本·白图泰研究中心（Ibn Battuta Center）。在这里展开的各类试验，可以为未来人类登陆火星做准备。  Matt Cross, left, rover engineer, Hans van 't Woud, center, mapping researcher and health and safety officer, and Melissa Battler, geologist and commander of Crew 125 EuroMoonMars B mission of the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS), wait in an airlock in their simulated spacesuits before venturing out to collect geologic samples in the Utah desert on March 2. The MDRS aims to investigate the feasibility of a human exploration of Mars and uses the Utah desert's Mars-like terrain to simulate working conditions on the red planet. Scientists, students and enthusiasts work together developing field tactics and studying the terrain. All outdoor exploration is done wearing simulated spacesuits and carrying air supply packs and crews live together in a small communication base with limited amounts of electricity, food, oxygen and water. Everything needed to survive must be produced, fixed and replaced on site. (Jim Urquhart/Reuters)  The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is seen in the Utah desert on March 2.
