The Drill

Blueprints

Mission 4 arrival is getting closer, and with it a group of 32 new astronauts. Gareth Murphy is one of them - a Civil Engineer Shifters have heard about before. Gareth writes to Emma and shares some blueprints for the new buildings soon to appear at the Mars Base. Following that, the Shifters get to try their hand at an Emma-original exercise in drilling for ice on the Red Planet. Now an official ISA podcast. The ISA is built by people like you!

Landing on Mars

In preparation for the oncoming Mission 4 arrival, Emma teams up with the Mars Base and ISA Mission Control to tell Shifters a little bit about orbital dynamics of an Earth-to-Mars flight and puts them in the position of Flight Control with an ISA-approved, scientifically accurate rocket landing simulator.

Meet the Astronauts (Part 1)

In this very special episode, the Shifters get to know the first half of the current crew of the Mars base and play a game of Two Truths and a Lie with them, learning about everything from their favorite pastimes, to stories from their time at the ISA training facilities, to the art of surfing the sand dunes of the Red Planet.

The Drill

Alarms and sirens shock the Mars base in the middle of the night, warning of a potentially catastrophic Coronal Matter Ejection event. As the crew works frantically for thirty-two sleepless hours to brace for impact, one person knows it’s only a drill - Mission Commander Mithi Mabaya. Now, she’s reaching out to the Shifters with her side of the story. Now an official ISA podcast. The ISA is built by people like you!
