Maybe we could girdle Mars with a superconductor, giving it an artificial magnetosphere. Naturally, we don't have nearly the sophistication to realize either of those solutions. Could we ever, possibly, terraform Mars and make it more hospitable? Sure, it's possible — there's no fundamental ...
Conceptual Space Vehicle Architecture for Human Exploration of Mars, with Artificial Gravity and Mini-Magnetosphere Crew Radiation Shield This paper presents a conceptual Mars Exploration Vehicle (MEV) architecture, which includes a Mars Crew Transfer Vehicle (MCTV) with a crew of four, and two unmann...

Research at the Observatory also is ongoing in the area of space situational awareness, characterizing artificial objects in the near-Earth zone to contribute to national security efforts for theU.S. Department of Defense. “The MRO operates one of the largest telescopes in the world that is cur...
Atmospheric escape is one of the key factors controlling the evolution of Mars habitability. This topic has attracted extensive research interests over the past few decades and served as an important scientific object for several Mars mis
On the dayside, the typical large-scale plasma configurations, such as detached bow shock and induced magnetosphere, are obviously apparent. The IMF pile-up and draping structure can be observed inside the magnetic pile-up region (MPR) in the x-y plane of Figure 1b. View Download Figure ...

While doing this, they'd also be testing artificial gravity + whatever else they use to mitigate the effects of cosmic radiation. Would be a really interesting mission for those who are interested in such things, and those who aren't - I think would in practice ...
It’s this latter change that may force humans to eventually splinter irreversibly from their Earth-based counterparts. With no immune system, sex between Martian humans and Earthlings would be lethal. That could impose an artificial limit on how the two populations will be able to in...
