4. Objectives
• To study about terraforming a planet
• To know about interplanetary transport
• To study about different constructions
techniques to be used for making life
sustainable with In-Situ Resource
Utilization on Mars
• To review case studies

5. Introduction
• Since the beginning of mankind, humans
have been explorers
• Exploration is in our DNA
• Possibility of human extinction
• Dinosaur apocalypse
• Important for humans to be a multi-planetary
species

13. Terraforming of Mars
It is the hypothetical process of deliberately
modifying a planet’s atmosphere, temperature,
surface topography or ecology to be similar to
the environment of Earth to make it habitable
by Earth-like life.

15. • NASA has developed an instrument called
MOXIE (Mars oxygen In situ utilization
Experiment) which converts Carbon dioxide
in the Martian atmosphere to Oxygen by the
process called solid oxide electrolysis
01/013/2019 15
17. • NASA has also developed an instrument
called WAVAR (Water-vapor absorption
reactor) which extracts water from Martian
atmosphere with a zeolite adsorption bed

21. Inflatable habitat
Inflatable habitats or expandable habitats are
pressurized structures capable of supporting
life in outer space whose internal volume
increases after launch. They have frequently
been proposed for use in space applications to
provide a greater volume of living space for a
given mass.

23. MASONRY
Masonry is chosen because it is the only
available resource on the Martian surface, It is
simple to produce and is extremely durable
• Regolith and rocks are abundant material on
the surface
• Rocks will act as a brick and regolith with
added plant derived polymer extracts may
act as a binding material
• Masonry should be used with another
system to keep the interior pressurized
01/013/2019 23
26. Objectives
• To develop a transportation infrastructure in
order to facilitate the eventual colonization of
Mars
• To build an initial base for human settlement
on Mars
01/013/2019 26
27. Elon Musk the CEO of SpaceX is very
optimistic about his approach for colonizing
Mars
01/013/2019 27
28. Conclusion
• Considering the technological advancement
SpaceX has achieved over the period of time
this goal is achievable
• The Big Falcon rocket is under development
which will take its first orbital flight tentatively
planned for 2020

29. CASE STUDY 2
MARSHA 3D PRINTED MODEL
By
AI Spacefactory (2018)
01/013/2019 29
30. Objective
• To build a 3D printed model adaptable for
Martian surface using in-situ resource
utilization
01/013/2019 30
31. Methodology
• Marsha uses Basalt fibre-reinforced
polylactic acid for the 3D printing process
• Polylactic acid also known as PLA is a
strong thermo plastic which is mission
recyclable and has lowest coefficient of
thermal expansion among all plastics
• Basalt fibre is added for tensile strength
which is available on Mars
01/013/2019 31
32. Plate 15: Double Shell technology
Marsha uses unique dual-shell system to
isolate from natural expansion and contraction
caused by extreme temperature swings
01/013/2019 32
33. Conclusion
• Marsha won the first place in NASA’s 3D
printed Mars habitat competition and is
considered to be used in future missions
• The in-situ resource utilization reduces the
cost of importing materials from Earth
01/013/2019 33
34. Indian Scenario
• India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) also
known as Mangalyaan was launched in
November of 2013
• The total cost of the project was ₹450 Crore,
making it the least expensive Mars mission
to date
• The objective is to explore Mars’ surface
features, morphology, mineralogy & Martian
atmosphere

36. Overall Conclusion
• By space exploration, there will be
technological advancements for humans for
a better tomorrow
• Being a multi planetary species, will help
humanity survive even when Earth goes
through disastrous events
• There is opportunity for scientists and civil
engineers to go beyond conventional
thinking and achieve something amazing
