Novel Materials for Building on Mars – Univ. of Miami, College of Engineering.
Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun, has been the subject of fiction, scientific research and engineering since the 1800s. It is the most accessible place for life other than on Earth, making it a scientifically interesting location in our solar system. Emerging technologies to provide safe habitats for manned missions to Mars have been identified as a priority by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Research in this field has become even more significant since Congress passed a bill directing NASA to send a manned mission to Mars by 2033.
