-The existing knowledge about [[Mars]] is a valuable basis for planning the first [[settlement]], but during the development of the Marspedia project some open issues arise, that require further explorations. This page collects descriptions of those explorations required to find the needed knowledge.

 ==Caves==
 The actual geometry of the Martian [[caves]] is unknown. Only the size of the entrance can be seen on photographs. If the caves are involved in settlement planning we need to know whether they are really usable or not. The exploration can be done by remote controlled machines, e.g. specialized [[:category:rovers|rovers]] with agents crawling into the caves.

 We need more information about the [[atmosphere|atmospheric]] movements on Mars. The viability of [[wind turbine]]s strongly depend on it. Several wind sensors could be brought to the Martian surface, each in a different region.
