prepare infrastructure, and identify and extract resources [12]. They could also assist with hazardous tasks, reducing the risks to human colonists. Advancements in artificial intelligence and autonomous systems would be essential
Modular space vehicle architecture for human exploration of mars using artificial gravity and mini-magnetosphere crew radiation shield. AIAA 2012-0633.Benton, Snr., M.

(Oyama et al., 1977) The Pyrolytic Release experiment tested whether Martian life was photosynthetic, so it swapped the atmosphere over the sample with 14C labeled CO2 and CO (14CO2 and 14CO), incubated the sample under artificial lighting for a few days, then ended the experiment by ...
A three-dimensional four species multi-fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model was constructed to simulate the solar wind global interaction with Mars. The model was augmented to consider production and loss of the significant ion species in the Martian ionosphere, i.e., H+, O2+, O+, CO2+, ...
As stated before, artificial gravity research hasn’t been a priority with any space agency since the 1960s. It’s likely that an agency might not abandon decades of research in one direction to start off in another. This may be irrelevant since the cost of DragonLab missions (several tens...
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 inte...
natural satellites and artificial satellites. Natural satellites mainly include moons, but can include large orbiting rocks, too (though most non-moons are usually pulled into the planet's atmosphere). Artificial satellites include man-made objects stationed above a planet for research or communication...
