Since the mid-2030s, Mars has been a near-constant target of crewed missions by multiple countries.

The first crewed Mars mission was Tianwen 6, a Chinese National Space Agency mission which landed taikonauts at three locations on the planet's surface. The first temporary base was Lindsay Eddie Base, set down during the Ares 2 mission.
