About Mars

  • Moons: Phobos, Deimos.
  • 1 year = 1.88 Earth years
  • Small Planet

Objectives

The objective of our mission is not only to accomplish survival in the required time but also to be pioneers in the colonization of the red planet and search for the implementation of our project for the first Mars constructions.

Tools

Hammer

This tool will the best option in case we need to break something appart or shape rocks if needed.

Adjustable Wrench

This tool will be useful for our construction plans, and for reparing the rover's wheel.

Spiral wind turbine

This machine will help us take advantage of sandstorms providing energy to the colony.

Window

This material was chosen because of its opacity; it provides sunlight inside our shelters. The triangular figure is the best option because of its durability.

Screw and nut

These tools will hold windows together in a stronger way.

Buildings

Greenhouse

This is the place where all of our seeds will grow for our one year mission. This wil be helpful to future Mars' citizens.

New House

This will be a more comfortable place for living after we succeed at building the greenhouse. It will also help to reduce exposure to the outside dangers.
