Introduction

Mars Environment compared to earth

Modifying planet’s environment (※1) to more habitable one for human beings on earth. Mars is the most earth-like of all the other planets in our solar system.

Earth Mars
Atmosphere N2(78%)

O2(20%)

CO2(95%)

N2(2%)

Pressure at Surface [atm] 1 0.007
Temperature at Surface [K] 280 ± 20 180 ± 30

Long term approach for Terraforming

Long term

In long term,

  • 1. Start Point of Terra Forming.
  • 2. Microorganisms I (for adaptation).
  • 3. Microorganisms II (for habitat manipulation).
  • 4. Cyanobacteria / Plants.
  • 5. Animals,
  • 6. Human Beings


Short term


Short term approach for Terraforming

In short term or in those steps, our approach is shown below.

  • Heat Energy Injection.
  • Heat Energy Production.
  • Atmosphere Generation.
  • Organic Matters Accumulation.
  • Water Accumulation.

Approaches

Actually we have four ideas to terraform the Mars.
