Mars Habitat Concept by sjwaldron

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Features of this Mars habitat:
Pyramid shape that is rigid against strong winds with 4 stabilizing beams that are deep into the planet's surface for added strength.
Double structure design for safety. The outer pyramid interior space would have extra food producing plants, machinery, and other large things that are not absolutely important. The interior pyramid space is where crew would live most of the time and where the most important things like electronics would be. There would also be an underground structure below the interior pyramid for added space and safety that would be primarily storage and systems that maintain a breathable atmosphere.
4 airlock doors with 4 separate sections of the outer interior space. This would allow for sections to be maintained while still having enough space for at least the plants that need atmosphere to survive. Also good in case of a breach, so that only one section would be down while being repaired.
Dual solar collection system, both Solar Power Tower with heliostats and photovoltaic type devices would be used.
