Overview

Rendering of the first permanent Mars Settlement.

The Hillside concept originates from the primary design of human settlement on the surface of Mars by the Mars Foundation™. Known as the Mars Homestead Project™ this concept utilizes local materials where possible.[1] The Hillside design maximizes protection from solar radiation, insulation from the extreme low temperatures and low Martian pressure.
