Mars One, the project to send a crew of trained astronauts on a one-way trip to Mars, has released a 360° fly-around video of the concept for their Mars lander. There is no audio to listen to and it ends rather quickly. To notice several details, you may need to watch the video more than once.
The lander in question is for an unmanned mission to Mars set to launch in January 2018, and aimed at demonstrating the concept of the mission technology important to the first crew, arriving in 2024. Along with the lander, a Communications satellite (ComSat) will also be launched into Mars’ orbit. The ComSat will be able to relay images, video, and other data from the surface of Mars. The data bandwidth of the ComSat will be about four times that of the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
