Self-sustaining Mars colonies utilizing the North Polar Cap and the Martian atmosphere.
A revolutionary new concept for the early establishment of robust, self-sustaining Martian colonies is described. The colonies would be located on the North Polar Cap of Mars and utilize readily available water ice and the CO2 Martian atmosphere as raw materials to produce all of the propellants, fuel, air, water, plastics, food, and other supplies needed by the colony. The colonists would live...
متن کاملMartian Dust Belts: Waiting for Discovery
Mukai (1992), Krymskii et al. (1992), Tátrallyay et al. (1992), Juhász et al. (1993), Kholshevnikov et al. (1993), In this paper, we present modeling results of the presumed dust belts of Mars. We combine recently obtained theoretical Ishimoto and Mukai (1994), Krivov (1994), Krivov and results in dynamics of circumplanetary dust grains with up-toTitov (1994), Sasaki (1994), Juhász and Horányi ...
متن کاملMass of Dust in the Martian Atmosphere
1 Estimates of the mass of dust suspended in the Martian atmosphere are derived from global and regional 9 pm opacity maps produced from Viking Infrared Thermal Mapper data. During the peak of the 1977b storm, a total dust mass of approximately 101 S gm was suspended, equivalent to 10-3 gm/cm2, or a layer 4 Lm thick. During a local dust storm near Solis Planum at Ls 227°, approximately 3.56 x 1...
متن کاملDetecting electrical activity from Martian dust storms
We present a model addressing the possible electrification of Martian dust storms based on the effective electrical charging of an individual dust grain. An upper charge bound on a grain can be determined based on the grain capacitance in the lowpressure Martian atmosphere. It is assumed that treiboelectric and inductive processes, like that presumed operating in terrestrial dust storms, can el...
متن کاملGravitomagnetic Separation of Bipolar Charged Martian Dust
The possible role of magnetic anomalies on Mars in gravitational enhancement of separation of charged dust is considered. It is known that charges become spatially separated by differential transport and gravitational sedimentation because the charge polarity of particles of dust depends on the particle size—where smaller particles are negatively charged and larger particles are positively char...
