Pre-professional spaceflight readiness
RedMars connects structured learning, realistic simulation, scenario-based training, and evidence capture so people can develop foundational operational competencies before entering professional roles.
RedMars complements professional qualification. Employers and operators retain responsibility for their vehicles, procedures, mission rules, certifications, and role qualification.
Move appropriate competency development before employment.
See what a learner demonstrates, not only what they complete.
Keep organization-specific standards with the employer.
The readiness gap
Degrees establish important knowledge, but they do not necessarily demonstrate telemetry interpretation, operational communication, procedure discipline, or decision-making under pressure.
Candidates and career changers have limited ways to show readiness before applying, while organizations often develop transferable foundations only after hiring.
RedMars is designed to move an appropriate portion of foundational competency development earlier and create evidence from actual performance.
That may reduce training burden and allow professional teams to focus more deeply on their own vehicle, tools, culture, mission rules, and qualification standards.
The RedMars model
A connected pathway moves from knowledge into repeated performance, evidence, and developing competency.
Build the technical context and operational vocabulary behind the role.
Repeat procedures, interpretation, communication, and decision behaviors.
Work inside realistic mission-control, spacecraft-system, and medical scenarios.
Perform under nominal and changing conditions, not only complete content.
Capture decisions, procedures, timing, commands, outcomes, and observations.
Use repeated evidence to show developing capability and independence.
Begin professional training with stronger foundational readiness.
Evidence, not just completion
RedMars applications are designed to capture evidence from what a learner actually does. Across repeated activities, that record can reveal a clearer picture of developing competency, judgment, and independence.
Instead of asking only whether someone completed training, the RedMars Portal is designed to help answer a more important question: what have they demonstrated they can actually do?
RedMars Portal
The Portal is the connective layer between learning, simulation, assessment, and demonstrated readiness. It organizes individual and organization-specific pathways, launches RedMars applications, tracks progress, and brings performance evidence into a coherent readiness record.

Application ecosystem
RedMars applications are not isolated products. Each one creates a place to practice, demonstrate, and generate evidence around a different set of spaceflight competencies.
Learn and prepare
Build foundational knowledge and connect it to the operational environment before entering simulation.
Operate and decide
Train in role-specific mission-control scenarios with live telemetry, procedures, voice loops, and changing conditions.
Build and troubleshoot
Construct, operate, and diagnose interconnected spacecraft systems and their interfaces.
Assess and respond
Practice operational medical decisions in scenario-based, isolated, and spaceflight-inspired environments.
Who RedMars serves
Students, early-career professionals, and career changers can develop operational competencies and show more than education or prior job titles alone.
Academic programs can complement technical knowledge with practical, scenario-based competency development and evidence of performance.
Employers can strengthen candidate and early-career pathways while keeping ownership of vehicle-, mission-, role-, and organization-specific qualification.
Training teams can identify demonstrated foundations and concentrate internal resources where organization-specific qualification matters most.
Where prior competency can be recognized, RedMars may help shorten portions of a training pipeline and allow organizations to concentrate on their actual vehicles, procedures, tools, operational culture, console responsibilities, and qualification requirements.
Readiness is not only for students. Engineers, operators, military personnel, medical professionals, software developers, and other experienced professionals can develop domain-specific competencies for a new spaceflight role and generate evidence of that readiness.
Flight controller example
A future flight controller may hold an engineering or science degree without yet having demonstrated telemetry interpretation, console communication, procedure discipline, anomaly recognition, prioritization, or operational decision-making. RedMars creates a place to develop and observe those foundations before employer-specific training begins.
Traditional concept
RedMars-enabled concept
Conceptual comparison only. Actual employer qualification, certification, and training requirements remain unchanged.
STAR architecture
STAR provides the competency-based architecture that connects training activities to evidence of performance and readiness. It emphasizes repeated demonstration, risk-calibrated assessment, and progression toward greater independence, not attendance alone.
