In a few hours at 2017 International Astronautical Conference American aerospace, advanced technologies and defense company Lockheed Martin will give an update to its Mars Base Camp concept.

The proposed mission would send humans to Mars orbit by 2028 and is "designed to be led by NASA and its international and commercial partners."
