Dmitry Zhuikov, Arina Ageeva, and Krassimir Krastev of the Russian ZA Architects<\/a> group lay out an interesting plan for a Mars Colony<\/a> that starts with robots digging large chambers in basalt bedrock.<\/p>\n

[]<\/p>\n

Their guidelines:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
Purpose of the project –<\/strong> is in research of the possibility to build permanent settlements on Mars, using robotics and local materials to reduce the price and risks.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\nresources available on mars<\/strong>
\n1.The surface of Mars is primarily composed of basalt<\/div>\n
2. The Phoenix lander directly sampled water ice in Martian soil<\/div>\n
[3.] Some martian soil appropriate for groving certain agricultures e.g. Asparagus<\/div>\n
\n
Basalt is good material to\u00a0make a protectional cave on, to produce insulation,\u00a0and basalt roving, which is stronger than steel.
\nPossibility of food production will make Martian settlements independent of expensive deliveries from the Earth.<\/div>\n


\n[Colonization] stages<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

1. Rocket with digging robots are sent to the Mars
\n2. Robots drop-off on the surface
\n3. Robots analyze basalt columns on strength value, then each chooses a weakest pillar that equidistant from the others – it is a start position
\n4. Robots drill basalt, moving down and increasing diameter of withdrawn rock with each step, until it reaches strong pillars that remain
\nas columns
\n5. Chaff set aside to form network of the rampants, in order to protect skylight holes from the wind and dust
\n6. After caves are ready human [expedition] rush to the Mars
\n7. Astronauts finish the construction and arrange technical facilities as water, oxygen, basalt processing line, etc.
\n8. Using generated basalt roving, robots weave spatial spider-like web, that will be used as spaces and construction to hold domestic and technical facilities<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
