Hello all!
This is my Modular Mars Base design. This base is highly customizable in terms of the positions of the modules as well as what goes in them. Due to the dangerous atmosphere and climate of the red and barren planet, it would be best to live in an enclosed area, where traveling outside is minimal. This is why each module can be connected with one another. These modules are also elevated off the ground. The reason for this is due to the dust storms that occur on Mars that usually lasts for weeks. It would be disastrous if the bases were to be completely enveloped and buried in dust.
Some other reasons for the design of the Modular Mars base:
1. Dome-shaped roofs
The dome shaped roof provides the structure with more stability in high winds when compared to flat geometrical shapes. The dome structures also distribute the stress evenly, which provides greater strength and resistance to the high velocity winds of Mars.
2. Dome-shaped solar panels
