Protocol for Death Management in Martian Colonies: Technical Specifications and Operational Guidelines v2.0

Description

This protocol presents comprehensive technical and operational guidelines for 
managing human death in long-term Martian colonies. It addresses biological 
safety, resource efficiency, psychological support, and cultural considerations 
within the extreme constraints of the Martian environment. The document includes 
detailed specifications for cremation systems (55 kWh, 1400°C), ash processing 
and nutrient recycling (96% efficiency), cemetery design, a dual ceremonial 
system (mandatory ecumenical + optional religious), and structured psychological 
support protocols. All values are based on established scientific principles but 
require experimental validation.
