A Spatial Perspective of Space Colonization on Mars

Abstract

Colonization as a futuristic reality is being explored and possibilities of human endeavor on Mars as future habitat are conceptually investigated. Considering the ground differences with atmosphere and functioning condition with Earth as a reference, the possibilities of human existence on Mars are designed keeping fundamental aspects undering consideration. The Red Planet has a thin layer of atmosphere protecting it and several patches of water in the form of ice have been discovered. Investigating Mars's history could help in gaining insights about the evolution of life on Earth. The mission outlines utilization of the technology perpetually with fundamentals like oxygen, water, communication, food, and energy production as a significant roadmap. The mission also carries on its back the responsibility of making headway in the prospects of space engineering. Novel techniques like Dome like structures, Lava tubes, the Role of Robots, and Astronauts are singled out. The present work directs emphasis on the underground pathways for building residential complexes for prospective Martian settlers (colonists). The main challenges given technology and scientific enhancements and to put them to the best use to be benefitted from are focused. The results of the study determine the plausibility of the project with gradual and substantial technological advancements. Bearing in mind the risks and with a continuous stride to overcome them, Mars colonization, a distant dream now, could be accomplished while realizing the major enhancements and discoveries that would happen in all fields of science and technology in the future.
