This represents the plans for a longterm Mars base to support 6 people.
Assembly
The construction of this base will require 15 to 18 launches of heavy lift rocket supporting a payload fairing of 10 meters high by 4 meters wide. The rocket will also need to be able to support up to 8000 kilograms of payload to Mars. The base will be composed of several robotic mobile modules. Once all of them have been delivered to Mars, they will begin pairing up and constructing themselves according to a predetermined layout. Each module will use an interlocking docking mechanism to connect to the other modules. The docking connector will also act as a distribution mechanism for networked resource tubing(NRT) such as water, waste,electricity, O2 and CO2. The walls of each module generally consist of 8cm thick titanium carbon nanotubes with exception of NRT's which account for over half of the overall thickness in some areas.
Living Conditions
Two astronauts will be assigned to share a roo
