PROJECTS
Mars is a harsh and inhospitable environment, with extreme temperatures, radiation, and a thin atmosphere that offers no protection from harsh conditions. To establish a permanent human settlement on Mars, we must overcome many challenges, some of which are:
Atmosphere
The Martian atmosphere is much thinner than Earth's, meaning there is less protection from solar and cosmic radiation. This could be dangerous for humans on Mars, as it could increase their risk of cancer, damage electronic equipment, and even harm crops grown for food.
Water
Water is crucial for human survival, but there is very little water on Mars. The water that is present on the planet is frozen in ice caps or locked up in minerals, making it difficult to access and extract for human use.
Temperature
Mars is a cold and dry planet, with an average temperature of -80°F (-62°C). To survive, humans will need to live in habitats that can maintain a comfortable temperature and provide a breathable atmosphere.
Energy
Generating energy is essential for human survival on Mars. Solar energy is a viable option, but it can be challenging due to dust storms and the planet's distance from the sun. Other options include nuclear power or geothermal energy.
Food
Growing food on Mars will be challenging due to the planet's thin atmosphere, low air pressure, and extreme temperatures. Researchers are currently exploring various techniques, such as hydroponics and aeroponics, to grow crops in a controlled environment.
Communication
Communication between Earth and Mars will take anywhere from 3 to 22 minutes due to the distance between the two planets. This lag in communication could be dangerous in emergencies, making it necessary to have reliable and autonomous systems in place.
Solving these challenges will require innovative technologies, collaboration, and a dedicated team of experts from diverse backgrounds. At Marshenge, we are committed to developing sustainable solutions for human settlement on Mars and pushing the boundaries of space exploration.
