Now that the adventure starts on Mars, I would be happy to read more about it.
How long do days last on Mars? Are there some "seasons"? What gravity? No risk of big winds or radiation? What components can be found in Mars atmosphere?

[bdfd]

Yes Manu, what does 'Goo...e' say ? [:))]

Mars: fourth rock after the sun, between () Earth to compare,
Radius: 3,396 km (6,378)
Distance: 1.5237 AU (1)
Rotation: 24h37mn (23h59)
Period: 686.96 days (365.25)
Gravity: 3.71 m/s (9.81)
Excentricity : 0.0934° (0.0167)
Inclination : 1.85° (0.0001)
Obliquity: 25°19'=> four seasons (23°26')
Satelittes: 2, Phobos & Deimos (Moon)

Risk of big winds : All is anchored on martian ground but dusty is little, be careful for joins.

Radiations: 2 sorts, solar and extra-solar.
A special part of Habmod contains a strong tank which produce magnetic field which protects the crew when there is an alert.

Components can be found in Mars atmosphere:
CO² which becomes O²
CH4 or H²O becomes H²...

Components can be found in Mars underground:
Ice, salted water, mineral salts, ...


Little technical spécifications of the updated solar module.



Mars two has two main solar modules, one for base camp and the second for the future reactor (which will make propellant to MRV).

So Mars One was in Orson Welles crater (purple cross bottom Xanthe), Mars Two is in Taytay crater(green cross bottom Pathfinder site) near river of Ares vallis.

Follow the black arrows.

It has been divide in two sections to repair them and their storage.

Between two you find an air lock for the crew.

Thanks Aeowyn. [:)]

The night falls on the base camp.



The next works are the radar and antennas to communicate in high debits... [:)]

bdfd, careful, I have heard on the radio that there will be some important storms on Mars, all these days.
