Could help if anyone gets injured or hurt during the four years  

Could deal with the technology or electricity

Could problem solve and use skills to come up with a plan

Could Study the land  and we can learn about the materials in the crust of Mars

Could scout the difficult terrain and find a good place to build shelter

To help heal anyone who gets sick or has an injury becuase they will be there for 4 years.

2. Mathematician

we need someone who can solve problems quickly and accurately.

3.Botanist

To study the land and find fertile soil so eventually food can grow and maintain a garden for food

4.Hydrologist

water is important for life and survival so we need someone who can track and predict where water is.

5. Geologist

Help find water sources in the planet and help explore different layers of rocks.

Hydrologist- There’s only so much water that would be able to be brought on the rocket, so someone would have to be able to find drinkable water, and a hydrologist is the best for this job. Water is also useful for growing plants. 

Botanist- There’s only so much food that would be able to be brought on the rocket, so someone would have to be able to grow food so everyone could stay alive and refreshed. You need food for survival.
Electrical Engineer- will be able to fix any mechanical errors during our landing or during a mission. They will also help with upgrades that will be needed to go back to earth. Lastly, they can create rovers, circuits, and other technical devices.
Mechanic- A mechanic can help to build and repair structures and vehicles. The mechanic can help and work together with the electrical engineer.

Welder-to build are home

Doctor-to save people

Cartographer to map the place 

Computer programer-to communicate back and forth with earth

They need a doctor to heal any of them if they occur any injuries or illnesses on the mission. To be able to help keep them calm if any problems occur.

Possibly figure out how to grow plants on Mars. Be able to produce food that is needed if a shipment is late. 

To fix any lighting, computer, or any other electrical problems that they might occur on the mission.

They will need to have enough water to last them four years and they can have their knowledge about water and how to get it and store it and when to use it. 

Fix any problems that might happen with the ship. They can also help to build a structure out of metal.

Hydrologist - The team of 5 needs a hydrologist because water is heavy and the team would need to find water on the planet which would help the chances of survival. The Hydrologist would also help the team collect information about water, like where and how to find it. This would help the United States of America’s efforts to colonize mars.

Civil Engineer: We need a civil engineer because if we need to build like a building or a certain thing they can build it for us correctly.

Psychologist: We would need a psychologist on the team because people would argue and disagree without someone to help them, and people can eventually go insane in space without other people or Earth. 

Mathematician:  If we design something and we need a really secure we have to have it be exactly correct or we will die.  IF something goes wrong then the mathematician can calculate a way to fix it.

Biologist: A biologist would be helpful in the search for water, could grow food if needed, and most likely be able to assist the doctor if help is required.

     So we can find water for drinking, and growing plants, as we will not be able to bring four years' worth of water on a rocket.

     So we can grow plants, and further oxidize the environment, and also grow them as a food source.

    So we can fix any technical issues with the rover and habitat

     So we can build structures that people can live in without wearing a spacesuit. 

    So we can help any of the other people who are injured on the mission.

    

Geologist - Collect rock samples on Mars, figure out more about Mars when they get there

Botanist - Growing food on mars means that you wouldn’t have to bring as much with you. Be able to “create” water like Matt Damon to help with water shortages and health of the plants.

Computer Programmer - Take care of all the many programs running the habitat; if there is a problem with a computer (not machinery), they will take care of it and fix the systems.

Mechanic - If anything breaks, this person will fix it. If there is an unexpected situation (like in Apollo 13) they will be able to build unique gadgets to keep the systems running and extend the life of the ship.

We brought this Botanist on this mission because we needed someone who could grow food that way instead of bringing food on the ship we can just bring seeds. The Botanist will also work with the Hydrologist to find water.

We brought a psychologist on this mission because traveling to Mars takes about four whole years. Four whole years is a long duration of time from Earth. Many passengers could start going insane and could start doing crazy actions, this is why psychologist is very handy. Feelings are a complicated process. He/she can calm everyone down, when needed. 

We would need a civil engineer because we would need to colonize on Mars. We would need an air tight building and something that we could build to move around on Mars to get to different places. On Mars the Civil Engineer would have to set up a source of electricity or something that we could see. Without this then we would not survive without a shelter that we can breathe, protect us from dust storms, and stay warm.  

We would need a medical doctor on this mission because if someone became extremely ill, we would have someone to hopefully “fix” them/make them feel better. Without a medical doctor, many crew members may become sick, and the illnesses could spread quicker. 

The hydrologist will be in charge of making sure the crew has water and will also have to find water to grow there crops. Without the hydrologist the whole mission will fail due to lack of food and water. The hydrologist will be able to find, research, and turn any form of water into liquid for the crew.

We chose to bring a botanist so that we would have someone who knows how to work with plants. We need someone who can do that so we could plant food and be self-sustaining during the mission. If an emergency were to happen, maybe they could make some plants. Also, plants are very important to life, and the botanist needs to know if plants can survive on Mars so that the colony can. 

If anyone has an urgent medical problem a doctor can make them better. If someone has a very bad untreated symptom, they could die. And, if they are very important to the mission and can not work because they are too sick (or if they are dead), that could cause major problems. 

A hydrologist would be able to find a water source, which is needed in order to survive. They would know if there is enough water for a colony to live on Mars. If they ran out of water, a hydrologist might find a way to get some on mars or somewhere else. 

An inventor is important because if something mechanical goes wrong we need someone who can find a way to solve it by making something. They could also double as someone who knows how to fix things so if something breaks it can be fixed.Or, if anything was forgotten they could recreate it. 

A mathematician is good with numbers, and would understand the data taken from experiments. They could also help the inventor build things. A mathematician generally knows numbers. Numbers are everywhere, and a math expert can help with almost all things.
