Mission Workshop (https://missionworkshop.com), designer of premium bags and apparel, introduces the Prime Meridian – Mars Project 2.0 Backpack, a new limited edition release.
The Prime Meridian continues Mission Workshop’s collaboration with Carryology, bringing Mars Project elements into this limited, 1st Edition release that integrates legacy specs with a glimpse into undisclosed next-gen R&D programs. Learn more about Mission Workshop’s Mars Project.
Drawing on inspiration and knowledge from Mission Workshop’s work on the NASA EVA research backpacks, the Mars Project 2.0 utilizes Challenge Ultra 400 and EPX70RS fabrics, proven on packs built for the NASA BASALT and Desert RATs teams. These packs were engineered to survive the brutal conditions of volcanic testing grounds, where acid rain, heat, and ash would destroy ordinary fabrics.
Built in Mission Workshop’s Los Angeles factory, which specializes in R&D, design, and small production runs for various teams within the US military, the Mars Project 2.0 offers a versatile carry solution optimized for both travel and daily transport.
The full clamshell opening simplifies packing of the main compartment, and a dedicated tech compartment with organizer pockets and a carabiner clip secures keys and other daily essentials. A dual-access front admin panel with vertical external zippers provides immediate access to travel documents, AirPods, sunglasses, and other everyday carry items. Additionally, a top-access, rear-mounted, padded laptop sleeve offers easy access and protection from physical damage and weather. Featuring US made mil-spec, matte finish YKK Aquaguard zippers throughout.
In partnership with Landspeeder® Systems, the Mars Project 2.0 is equipped with a next generation modular attachment system allowing easy and secure attachment of modules to the side of the bag creating an interchangeable platform for add-ons and future expansion.
Additionally, the soft and breathable back panel features a luggage handle pass-through for convenient airport travel, and the generously padded shoulder straps provide support and comfort under heavy loads.
