2026-03-05 13:56
We recently reworked the project's financial model once again. This is important to do approximately every six months to review current data, incorporate lessons learned during the project, incorporate new ideas, and correct any potential "hidden" errors. This time, we also further analyzed the financial model using various AI tools and analytical systems. Today, we are sharing the key parameters of the financial model for the "Mars Base - Ural Mars Observatory" pilot project. 💰 Total Investment The launch of the first Mars Base requires approximately 88 million rubles. These funds are being used to create a fully-fledged infrastructure for the facility: • 15 futuristic residential capsules • Astronomical observatory • Central geodome • Futuristic SPA-health center • Gastronomic food truck • Engineering infrastructure and landscaping 📈 Main sources of income The financial model is built on multiple revenue streams, which significantly reduces risks. 1. Accommodation in capsules 2. SPA-health center Cryochambers, flotation, hyperbaric chambers, infrared saunas, and jacuzzis. This is no longer just a SPA—it is a futuristic "Health Center" and another key attraction at the Mars Base. 3. Popular science programs Space observations, lectures, and interactive formats. 4. "All in Mars Experience" Accommodation Packages All-inclusive format with a "Mars mission" preparation program. 5. Culinary Space Food truck and themed kitchen for guests. 6. Events and Activities Science festivals, astronomy events, and interactive programs. 📊 Key Model Indicators Base-case scenario: • Average occupancy: ~65–75% • Average stay: ~$160 • Revenue diversification: 7+ sources ⏳ Estimated project payback period: ~1.9–2.5 years. 🧠 Strengths of the Financial Model Multiple income streams — the project is not solely dependent on stays. Highly unique product — there are virtually no similar concepts on the market. High average stay thanks to the immersive format and scientific program. Project value growth — as construction and infrastructure development progress, the share price increases. Scalability – after the launch of the pilot facility, the Science Citizen Glamping network is planned to be expanded through franchising. 🌍 Why investors are joining the project now • The project is in its early stages – this is always the strongest entry point. • A new market category is emerging: next-generation scientific tourism. • After the launch of the pilot facility, the network is planned to be expanded through franchising. • The project has already received support from the region's scientific and tourism communities. 🌍 Important to understand "Mars Base" is the first pilot facility. The main strategic goal is to create a working model that can be scaled worldwide. After the launch of the first base, the company plans to develop a network of similar projects in different regions. 🚀 The project is currently in its early stages of development, and it is at this stage that investors receive the most favorable terms of participation. As the infrastructure is implemented and the project's value grows, the value of the share will increase. If you are already an investor, thank you for your participation in creating the project.
