Abstract

Human survival is still beyond current technological and biological capabilities. This paper discusses essential needs to live on interplanetary system Mars and methods to produce and extract those easily losing minimum existing resources in process of production. This study includes discussion of existing technologies in brief and solutions to limitations of those technologies. These theoretical solutions are to produce primary survival needs on Mars i.e. water, oxygen, fuel and agriculture just like earth. Oxygen synthesis is done more effectively using Mars atmospheric CO2 rather than using oxygen trapped in soil or form water. Current water extraction methods are able to produce and store approx. 60% water from source taken; using brine this limitation can be resolved. Food production on Mars is usually thought of in terms of growing plants to support survival on Mars; theoretical solution proposed in this paper solves limitations of current methods.
