This time, additional means of safety were introduced: Safety zones. Closed, hermetic areas that may withhold Martian atmosphere circumstances. Also new profiles were introduced, so the Population of the colony is even more diverse. Again 2 scenarios were tested. This time with better prot

This article is in PDF version only as it contains materials unsuitable for WWW presentatiation. The report focuses on conversion of velocities of human beings in different gender and age. As a checking point - evacualtion simulation was chosen (in 2 different scenarios) to investigate possible safety risks. The report consists of 4 main parts: 1.Pedestrian speed estimation and velocity transitions 2.Software description and requirements: Thunderhead Engineering PATHFINDER 3.

Hi! I just have submitted Mars Society City state contest entry. You may download the entry via this link. Enjoy! Published on mY: 218 mM: Leo Sol:09 Let's build together Our city on Mars S.A.M. #cityonmars #mars #marsdesign #spacearchitect #city

mY: 218 mM: Gemini Sol:26 Time: 02:01 (Airy crater) Mars Society announced competition for design 1-million person city, It can be found here: https://citystate.marssociety.org/ I have created a list of questions, I think need to be answered and fixed before any serious design takes place. Also, it is a good starting point to final descriptive part of the Mars Society competition for 1 million people city. You may download it here: MARSITY-WWW-OUT-List of topics MS competiti

mY: 218 mM: Gemini Sol:21 Time: 10:45 (Airy crater) You walk along transportation path. People seem a little tired after next working day… “This is decompression emergency alert for Sectors A, B and D. All citizens in sectors A, B and D please evacuate to nearest safety room. Airlocks will be closed in 2 minutes.” Such announcement is a result of very complicated analysis of all technical issues, survival capability of the zone, AI evacuation routes estimation and finally dat

mY: 218 mM: Taurus Sol:17 Time: 22:23 (Airy crater) The city is a complex structure providing many different services to its citizens. Starting from basic air support up to administration and planning services. City – as it grows from simple post up to megapolis – is providing more and more additional functionality and improvements - each of them requires new type of servicing and maintenance approach. They require SPACE. Which we will never see it in popular TV series. They

mY: 218 mM: Mesha Sol:10 Time: 20:25 (Airy crater) Have you ever considered what stands behind your bill for electricity or water? How does it happen that your sink produces a constant stream of water? There are networks of services, starting from the source, through complicated distribution network, till your final meter. A protrusion in any of the single moment will make your life harder. So an army of people is watching constantly each part of each network. The basics are

mY: 218 mM: Mina Sol:06 Time: 08:16 (Airy crater) Newcomers, fresh citizens of the city will be selected among others, based on their achievements and education level. Their task will be to start, support and develop the infrastructure of the root of the city. As it will be growing, the more people will come. Still highly selected. While comfortably settled the beginners will start new families. Parallelly more and more new people will come – possibly not so high profiled. I

mY: 218 mM: Pisces Sol:12 Time: 23:51 (Airy crater) I have looked through many job offers in private companies and space agencies. Engineers, scientists, managers are warm welcomed. Sometimes there is a job demand for psychological, PR or even medical services. No one is hiring architects. Architecture is all about relation ship between space around and human being. Architects create and direct people to see and experience arrangements of the environment. In the same time the

mY: 218 mM: Pisces Sol:05 Time: 04:59 (Airy crater) Terraforming is a process of deliberately modifying its atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology to be similar to the environment of Earth to make it habitable. From time to time some enthusiasts of space exploration raise this subject with next fresh ideas. Lately it was Elon Musk, who proposed new sun-like spots above Mars polar ice caps. The idea of Mars terraforming went quite a short way from sci-fi novels

mY: 218 mM: Pisces Sol:02 TIme: 06:55 (Airy crater) They key goal in space exploration is to stay where you have arrived. To maintain that people must adapt. So, let’s imagine that space exploration eventually changed somehow the ethical approach to human body modifications. I see a few possibilities (let’s say: regulated ones) on the way human body may be adapted. First direction is the most controversial one – genetical modifications. The researches require many human sacri

mY: 218 mM: Kumbha Sol:25 TIme: 09:29 (Airy crater) While exploring the space, travelling to planets, moons, asteroid we must understand. It is impossible to get exact conditions as on Earth. People must adapt and evolve if humanity is to explore the universe and location requires its own set of changes As our mother planet led our biological evolution to the point we are now. We like the way we look. But the further humanity will go, the more changes would be required to ou

mY: 218 mM: Kumbha Sol:22 TIme: 11:24 (Airy crater) The more investment is done, the bigger control and influence is given to particular party. Should it be a private funding the more corporate style the city will be. Nevertheless, with all its negative influence the corpo-style is more preferable one in my opinion. The corporation can be cruel, merciless and focused only on making money, but offers stable approach in politics, economy and social relations. You may not like i

mY: 218 mM: Kumbha Sol:18 Time: 18:51 (Airy crater) Watching lately many arising news on asteroid mining, I started to think on possible City income sources. It is obvious that spending tremendous amount of money to build, populate and maintain the City the investors would like to receive some return. The more income types and more profitable they are the more likely people are to develop the future of the Mars and further on – other moons and planets. Mining and transporting

mY: 218 mM: Khumba Sol:13 Time: 22:03 (Airy crater) Elon Musk lately resumed the cost of a city on Mars answering (https://twitter.com/Erdayastrona…/status/1159961700210225153) to Mars Khtronauts assumptions of possible cargo to be transferred. The amount of money is huge and unlikely to be real to gather and invested without political and economical control of wealthiest nations. I see no such force that may drive the Earth’s nations to spend 10 trillion USD, having so many

mY: 218 mM: Khumba Sol:10 Time: 00:37 (Airy crater) There are 2 major challenges for the humanity in closest 100-150 years. We double computing capability every 2-3 years. The first intelligent race in the Cosmos is to be met right on… Earth. Via sensor terminal or whatever will be connected to our brains… It is only a matter of short time when you will talk to an alien race. How the future may look like, what would be the AI’s limitations – you may look on tremendous book w
