Report 4 – Living on Another Planet Transportation systems: Engineers have many design considerations and restraints when developing transportation systems and vehicles for Mars. The amount of dust on the planet will affect mechanical systems. Vehicles on Mars that have to go long distances will need to be pressurized. Rovers for planetary exploration are in development. Rovers for surface science and geology will also be needed, this design is for a drilling and exploration vehicle. In order to

The air on Mars — what there is of it — is leaking away, about half a pound a second sputtering into space, scientists announced on Thursday. The planet’s early atmosphere is thought to have been as thick as or thicker than Earth’s today, and even over the 4.5-billion-year history of the solar system, that slow leak would not explain how it atrophied to its current wisps. But new readings from NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission — Maven, for short — show that when Mars is hit by

The stories in The Martian Chronicles Ray Bradbury are arranged in a notably singular way. They do not have many characters or events in common, but they are all united by the setting of Mars and, more importantly, the overshadowing influence of imperialistic governments. From the first time humans set foot on Mars to the time they finally leave it, the stories of humans and Martians are all affected by imperialism. Through this persistent backstage influence, Bradbury makes it clear that imperialistic

For a moment, I was actually looking for the folder labeled Martian. "He thinks he's a Martian," Ms. Bright repeated. She was a small woman, very proper and polite. "He told his group home parents that he's not like the other children - he's from Mars - so he shouldn't be expected to act like an Earthling all the time." "Well, that's okay," I said, a little too quickly. "Some of my best friends are Martians. He'll fit right in. As long as he doesn't eat the tribbles or tease the feral Chtorran."

before I go in I did this sky journal. The Moon’s phase is waxing crescent and very bright. The location of the moon is 80° SW. The planets that I found were Venus, Mars, and Jupiter again. With a very bright white light Venus is located about 20°-25° SW. Mars as usual this month is really close to Venus just about 1° NE of Venus. Mars location is about 18°-23° SW and blinking a shiny red. Jupiter on the other hand is just rising. The time reads 6:57 p.m. and it’s located about 45° E. The constellations

In June and July of 2003, two unique robot rovers were launched by NASA bound for Mars. The goal of NASA was to collect informations about our neighbour planet, the red planet called Mars. Previous expeditions of the last nearly 30 years have given us so much informations about Mars, but they have been fleeting visits and not enough data had been collected. But this mission would be different. The two rovers were expected to last 90 Martian days at best, but even after more than 1000 Martian days

Settlers on Mars Mars the red planet. A distant planet not so far from Earth was the next great step in mankind’s evolution. As the great Neil Armstrong once said “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Being the first settlers on mars for a three year course, my life was now a roller coaster ride. I had the fear of the cart derailing at any moment before the end of the track surging within me. How will our first days go? What problems will we face in the months to come? Will

New Planet Jane Doe Some University New Planet Coming into this technologically and scientifically-advanced time has gradually become a constructive and exciting time for scientists and the rest of humankind. In addition to the new technology that has come about, over time there’s no denying that we have uncovered an increasing number of planetary bodies; be it stars and or planets that could possibly sustain life or not at all. Since 2005, scientists have found a vast amount of “super-Earths”

an infinite amount of theories that Scientist and Physicist alike are still trying to overcome. Which planet would we want to live on? We chose a moon proven to have liquid water under its surface, Enceladus. With other living options out there like Mars, or Titan (one of Saturn’s larger moons) we chose in our opinion one of the least taxing and more accommodating locations. Where and Why Enceladus? Enceladus is a one of the Saturn’s moons. Enceladus measures about 500 km (310 miles) in diameter
