'''Electronics''' is a technology for [[automation]] and the basis for modern information technology. For remote controlled explorations and during the setup phase of a [[settlement]] on [[Mars]] it is required for [[radio link]] and data processing.<br />
<br />
I have 25 years experience in isrdntuial automation & SCADA/HMI/MODBUS integration.Want to get involved on the home automation side. How do I become a Control4 certified Integrator, Installer.RegardsStuart<br />

==Semiconductors==<br />
This is the modern kind of electronics. It allows ultra-compact devices with low power consumption, but it requires a hi-tech industry to produce the material and the structures. Since the material is damageable by radiation, it must be shielded carefully and has a limited wear lifespan depending on the intensity of the radiation. The electrical parameters are strongly influenced by the temperature.<br />

[[Category:Hi-tech]]</div>94.23.1.28https://marspedia.org/index.php?title=Internet&diff=7471Internet2012-09-30T07:55:25Z<p>94.23.1.28: /* Martian Net */</p>
<hr />
<div>The first permanent [[settlement]] on [[Mars]] will be of a size that does not necessarily require a distributed computer network. Nevertheless, there is the need for a mutual communication between people on Mars and people on [[Earth]]. The Martian settlement can, therefore, be connected to the terrestrial Internet, which in fact makes it an '''Interplanetary Internet'''. <br />
<br />
The speed of any communication between Mars and Earth is limited to the [[speed of light]], which results in a minimum delay (when the planets are closest to each other) of about 8 minutes for '''one way'''. This delay increases to approximately 18 minutes when the planets are in [[conjunction]]. This causes another issue as the Sun will be blocking the Line Of Sight (LOS) between the planets, communication signals will need to be re-routed via an [[Deep Space Network|interplanetary network]],<ref>[http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/ NASA's Deep Space Network]</ref> increasing the time taken for signals to travel between Earth and Mars. Without special buffering the result of a ''mouse click'' appears 16 minutes (minimum), or over 36 minutes (maximum), later on the screen. Time for HTML download will add to this lag. So, at worst, a complete terrestrial web page may take over 40 minutes to display on a Mars-based computer. <br />
<br />
==Concept== <br />
The first step can be a single computer and a radio transmitter brought from Earth to Mars. On Earth there is a corresponding radio transmitter, or network of global transmitters, and a buffered interface to Earth's Internet. Internet access may only be available during certain time frames (depending on Earth/Mars phase and availability of communication satellites). <br />
<br />
An extension is possible to widen the time windows with additional transmitters on other continents and relay stations orbiting Earth and Mars. <br />
<br />
The buffer on Earth side should have some additional functionality: <br />
* Collect all files (e.g. pictures) that are related to a requested HTML page and send them together with the HTML page. This reduces the time from ''mouse click'' to complete screen display of up to 40 minutes. <br />
* Reduce resolution of pictures if appropriate. <br />
* Compress data stream. <br />
* Add redundancy to the signal to allow data reconstruction for lost bits. The re-transmission of TCP data packets is awfully time consuming in this case and should be avoided. <br />
* Another method is to construct a new method of HTML transmission (similar to the cut-down WAP service for cell phones and other mobile devices). Images and graphics may be stripped from websites leaving only HTML text. <br />
<br />
==Solutions to the Internet communications "lag"== <br />
===The first Mars base=== <br />
In the first instance (when the first colony is being constructed) it may not be possible to have a functioning "Internet" as we currently understand it. Colonists should, however, have email contact for personal and science-based contact with Earth. <br />
<br />
===An established Mars base=== <br />
In time, the technological capabilities of a Mars base will increase. Also, technological advances on Earth will have accelerated, so an established Mars colony may receive new technologies as it becomes available on Earth. <br />
<br />
Assuming an established Mars base will consist of several buildings, or separate settlement sites spaced several kilometers apart, computer communications will be very important. The establishment of a basic "Mars Internet" would therefore be desirable to improve communications around the planet. A Mars Internet (or ''Marsnet'') could be routed via satellites in Mars orbit or lines may be laid across the Mars surface directly. Using technology developed on Earth, ''Marsnet'' would develop quickly, and depending on the number of colonists, the first Mars websites may be created rapidly. <br />
<br />
However advanced a ''Marsnet'' becomes, communications with the terrestrial Internet will still be limited by the speed of light. There is only one solutions to this problem: Cache (store) some of the terrestrial Internet contents on Mars-based servers, with regularly uploading new information or on demand. The current number of websites on the Internet totals over 100 million (as of Feb. 2007).<ref>[http://www.boutell.com/newfaq/misc/sizeofweb.html How many websites are there? ''Boutell.com'']</ref> By the time a Mars colony is established, this number will have exponentially increased. So, only a subset can be cached. The selected contents may comprise "mission critical" sites such as [[NASA]]'s or [[ESA]]'s web pages, Wikipedia, some online news magazines, scientific and technical sites, artwork, etc. <br />
<br />
==First use cases== <br />
*Technology information from Earth to Mars <br />
*Scientific results from Mars to Earth <br />
*Personal E-Mails in both directions <br />
<br />
You have to use the Adobe After Effects menu and help menu to insert the eftcefs and sounds in the appropriate places on the video timeline. It's really too involved to explain it here. Look for tutorials for Adobe After Effects in Yahoo search and check out the links supplied below too! Good luck and happy editing!<br />
<br />
==Open Issues== <br />
*What minimal transmitter (size, power) is required for a radio link from Earth to Mars (surface to surface)? <br />
*What data rate can be achieved by simple technology? <br />
*What time windows exist with a single transmitter on both sides? <br />

<hr />
<div>{{ColonyType}}<br />
The '''Foundation of an Autonomous Colony''' on another cosmic body is one of the most challenging tasks for humanity. Though it requires enormous effort, the goal to expand the influence of mankind throughout the [[Solar system]] is worthwhile. This [[motivation]] has several aspects. This page covers general issues of an autonomous<ref>Autonomous means able to exist independently or being independent in government. an aproximation of the definition in Mirriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition (c) 2003</ref> colony on [[Mars]]. <br />
<br />
[[Image:ColonyWithDomeAndUnderground.png|thumb|right|300px|Colony with [[Multi-layered vault settlement|dome buildings]] and underground facilities.]] <br />
<br />
What is an autonomous colony? The main attribute is [[independence from Earth]]. Once the colony is set up, it provides a [[habitat]] for settlers on the long run, hopefully forever. <br />
The second attribute is a planned and indefinitely stable colony that can thrive from [[local resources]]. Unlike a [[mission with planned death]] the settlers in an autonomous colony have a future for themselves and for their Mars-born [[children]]. The ultimate expression of independence from Earth may be the complete political independence of a colony.<br />
<br />
==Technological issues==<br />
<br />
[[Bringing down Phobos]] before a [[settlement]] is built may help to make [[Mars]] safe for the long term. <br />
<br />
The [[Transport from Earth to Mars|transport of colonists from Earth to Mars]] is a very complicated part of the plan. There are many threats inherent to space travel: [[Solar Radiation|Solar]] & [[Cosmic Radiation|Cosmic]] Radiation, [[Meteorites]], Physical & Mental Illness, etc. Plans will need to be made to deal with every possible problem. <br />
<br />
Since people can not live in the natural [[environmental conditions|environment]] a basic artificial [[habitat]] with [[house]]s, supplies and equipment for a long term stay would be deposited on Mars' surface. The [[equipment for autonomous growth|equipment must be technologically sufficient]] to allow the colonists to grow their own [[food]], build new houses, etc. <br />
<br />
There are many uncertainties about the impact of the Martian environment. The equipment would be tested on [[Earth]] thoroughly, but the influence of the Martian environment cannot be understood completely on Earth. The safest way is an [[unmanned setup of a whole settlement]] by an automated and remote controlled machinery. <br />
<br />
[[Energy]] is the most [[crucial issues|critical resource]]. It is needed for lighting and heating of [[greenhouse]]s, for [[metallurgy]] and production of machines. [[The critical path]] is the generation of enough energy for the production of spare parts for the energy generating systems and greenhouses. In other words: If the energy generating systems and greenhouses can not be maintained endlessly with the amount of energy they produce, an autonomous colony is not feasible.<br />
<br />
==Organizational Issues== <br />
<br />
The preparation cost for a mission like this is tremendous. A [[financial effort estimation]] helps to get an overview. <br />
<br />
Within a small group of colonists, a daily council of all members may be sufficient to address the needs of governance, much in the tradition of the New England town hall meetings. In a growing community some kind of representative [[democracy]] may become necessary, although this type of government may not be well suited to a small colony in a hostile environment.<br />
<br />
As the number of members in a martian [[population]] grows, so will the number of deaths. It will become necessary to conduct [[funeral]]s.<br />
<br />

==Open Issues==<br />
*Can there be enough energy generated, necessary for infinite maintenance?<br />
*What is the public attitude to such a foundation?<br />
*What skills and technologies are needed to have a small self-sufficient economy rather than a 6-billion-person global economy with its highly interdependent and very specialized jobs and technologies?<br />

<hr />
<div>The term '''Rover''' as used here describes any all-terrain vehicle designed to traverse the surface of a planet, moon, or asteroid. It allows exploring the surface on a variety of places, collecting and examining [[Minerals]], taking photos. The first rover (''Lunokhod 1'') was unmanned and remote controlled on [[moon|Earth's Moon]] in 1970. During the Apollo missions in the 1970s rovers have been used manned to extend the exploration range of the crew. It was not until 1997 that the first rover landed successfully on [[Mars]].<br />
<br />
well,First, Range Rover runs on Normal Gas.. not DieselSecond, You need to understand that Range Rover HSE worth $77,000 to $91,000. That's the MSRP only. if you add Insurance, Gas, Oil fieltr change, etc it'll cost more than$100,000. So what my suggestion to you is don't stop dreaming, take all your money, call a stock broker, tell him your story, he'll buy U some stocks and all that. THEN, you will get, depending on how much do U have right now, a yearly profit on what you invested with your money.ORU can you can start working right now. For example:-if U work for a $7/Hour for 7 hours7 7= $ 14/ day14 x 22( 30 days 8 days" you don't want to work on weekends")14 x 22 = $308/ month 308 x 12 = $3696 / year So lets say you want a Range Rover by the age of 21 3696 x 9 = $33246 . opps looks like Range Rover HSE is above your level . sorry kid EDIT :ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I'M SOOOOOO SOOOOOORRRRRYYYYY I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE . I'M REALY REALY REALY SORRY DUDE .. THANK YOU **((( mbar3 ))))** FOR CORRECTING ME HOW COULD I MISS THAT ???? ANYWAYS ,,,,, LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN GET A RANGE ROVER AFTER ALL HUH ????References :<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Insects''' play an important role in a [[:Category:Biospherics|biosphere]]. On [[Earth]] they are the animal group with the greatest variety, comprising more than a million species. They live in almost every climate.<br />
<br />
On [[Mars]] the natural [[environmental conditions]] do not allow insects to live, same as for every other known [[animals|animal]]. But in an artificial human [[habitat]] insects might be very useful to build a biosphere in [[greenhouse|greenhouses]]. They can help to pollinate blooms, decay dead pieces of [[:category:plants|plants]], etc. The insect species must be selected carefully to establish a long term stable population.<br />
<br />
[[Spiders]] may be introduced for insect population control as well as other predatory arthropods such as species of Praying Mantis, but without the benefit of silks.<br />
<br />
Certain species can be used as [[food]] for colonists, providing valuable proteins.<br />
<br />
And to think I was going to talk to someone in peorsn about this.<br />
<br />
==Not wanted species==<br />
Any blood sucking insects and human parasites, e.g. ticks, mosquitoes, flea, etc. Such species may be kept for scientific study or as part of an ark program.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>[[image:Eden_project.jpg|thumb|right|300px|[[The Eden Project]]] (near St Austell, Cornwall, UK) is a terrestrial example of the possible use of large ''biomes'' as greenhouses and life support for Mars colonies. ''Image credit: Jürgen Matern]] <br />
Growing [[:category:plants|plants]] in a '''Greenhouse''' delivers [[oxygen]] and [[food]]. It can play an important part in human recreation ([[Mars Garden Wins Gold at London’s Chelsea Flower Show (MarsHome.org)|Mars Garden]]) and may be the place for [[funeral]]s. The [[sunlight]] is not bright enough on Mars to allow usual terrestrial plants to thrive, but it provides a valuable part of light energy for plants. Additional [[energy]] is necessary for lighting and heating. <br />
<br />
The greenhouse will be constructed from transparent material, allowing maximum sunlight to pass, generating an artificial "[[greenhouse effect]]". The spectral properties of the material should be optimized to match the absorption characteristics of chlorophyll, maximizing the energy gain. <br />
<br />
Plants need a mix of air pressure and temperature. The greenhouse must be strong enough to hold that air pressure, and it must be [[insulation|insulated]] to hold the temperature inside. Photosynthesis works only at fairly high temperatures.<br />
<br />
==Side-lit Greenhouse Concept== <br />
<br />
[[Image:Greenhouse_marsfoundation.jpg|thumb|left|300px|The [[Mars Foundation]] concept for a side-lit greenhouse.]] <br />
The [[Mars Foundation]] concept for a greenhouse involves the maximum use of local materials to avoid waste, maximize energy input and optimize space. Spawned from the [[Hillside settlement]] design, the greenhouse would most likely be located inside/next to a hill side (possibly in the location of [[Candor Chasma]]). Therefore [[regolith]] or some other absorbant material could be suspended above the greenhouse to protect occupants and plants from [[solar radiation|harmful radiation]]. The source of light would therefore be directed from the side, via an array of adjustable mirrors. A system of vents and ducts would allow warm air to circulate, perhaps even used to heat the main habitat.<br />
<br />
==Underground Greenhouse Concept==<br />
[[Image:Underground Greenhouse.png|thumb|right|300px|Underground Greenhouse Concept]] <br />
<br />
If geothermal energy is not available the heating will consume large amounts of electrical energy. In this case the sum of energy used for lighting and heating must be considered. An underground greenhouse is easier to insulate to hold warmth inside. On the other hand the effort of lighting is higher, since no direct sunlight is used. This concept has some additional advantages: It is [[meteorites|meteorite]]-safe and [[radiation]]-safe.<br />
<br />
[[caves|Natural caves]] and [[artificial cave]]s can be utilized to build such an underground greenhouse, which requires a preparation with high effort in either case. The maintenance is quite cheap, for the ambient temperatures are steady and the radiation levels are low, so it is a good long term solution. A combination of greenhouse and living space for the settlers is suggested.<br />
<br />
==Water-shield Greenhouse Concept==<br />
<br />
[[Image:WaterShieldGreenhouse.png|thumb|right|300px|Water-shield Greenhouse Concept]] <br />
[[Hydrogen]] does a good job absorbing [[cosmic radiation]]. [[Water]] contains highly concentrated hydrogen, and hence serves as a good radiation shield. On the other hand it is highly transparent for visible light and UV. The combination of both makes it an interesting material for greenhouse shielding.<br />
<br />
Under a strong pressure resistent housing the water is placed in a thick layer. It absorbes the dangerous parts of cosmic radiation and [[sunlight]] and passes most of the spectral parts needed by [[human]]s and plants. Additionally, it helps to buffer daily temperature variations because of its high specific heat capacity.<br />
<br />
The layering could be as follows: The outer layer is a construction of [[steel]] and [[glass]], providing enough strength for the difference in [[atmosphere|atmospheric pressure]]. It also serves as insulation for [[temperature]] differences. Additional sheets of glass or [[Synthetic materials|plastics]] improve the insulation effect. A [[self-healing puncture protection]] should be considered. The innermost layer is the water. It can be held by transparent canisters.<br />
<br />
==Multiplying Sunlight==<br />
[[Image:MultipleMirrorsForGreenhouse.png|thumb|left|300px|Multiple Mirrors for Greenhouse]] <br />
<br />
A [[solar concentrator]] is a set of mirrors that can be used to bring more sunlight into the greenhouse than the base area of the greenhouse receives directly from the sun. Three times the amount of Martian sunlight should be enough to serve terrestrial plants. During good weather periods this allows growing vegetables without additional energy.<br />
<br />
You don't want AC and solar panels aren't often used in the clamite control of a greenhouse. Cooling is done by vents and fans. Some greenhouses use evaporative cooling pads to bring the temperature down as well, but they are very expensive. Heating is usually done by electric heaters spaced evenly throughout the greenhouse, but hot water pipes under benches or under the floors, or steam pipes can also be used in conjunction with a huge boiler. Some commercial greenhouses are experimenting with geothermal heating/cooling systems.Some other things that are useful are Horizontal Air Flow fans to mix the air, thermometers at plant height to monitor the temperature, water lines to irrigate, benches to put plants on, an injector system to put fertilizer into the water, and shade cloth for the area where shade-loving plants will be grown.<br />
<br />
==Nutrition and Energy Calculations==<br />
Based upon the figures in the [[food]] and [[sunlight]] articles the following calculations can be carried out for an artificially lit greenhouse:<br />
<br />
The minimum size of cropland per person is about 365 m<sup>2</sup>. The needed light energy can be assumed with 1000 kWh per m<sup>2</sup> and year. The result is an annual amount of 365 MWh per person. In other words: An average illumination power of 41,67 kW per person is required.<br />
<br />
The usage of fluorescent lamps with an efficiency factor of 30% results in a requirement of about 140 kW per person in electrical energy. The overall efficiency of food production with artificially lit greenhouses is less then 1 permille, or in other words, to produce food with a content of 1 kWh the amount of more than 1 MWh in electricity must be spent.<br />
<br />
Parts of the required light can possibly be provided by direct or indirect sunlight. Heating the greenhouse will require additional energy.<br />
<br />
==Open Issues== <br />
*How long can plants survive without sunlight (e.g. during a dust storm)?<br />
*How many persons are needed to work in the greenhouse to produce enough food for a hundred persons?<br />
*How much energy is required for heating, especially during long lasting dust storms? This question can not be answered without an [[experimental setup#greenhouse heating|experimental setup]].<br />
*What temperature and air pressure do plants need?<br />
*What air pressure is needed for persons to work in the greenhouse? <br />
*What transparent materials match the absorption characteristics of chlorophyll?<br />
*Do plants need wind? How can it be provided?<br />
*What is known about radiation tolerance of food crop?<br />

<hr />
<div>{{ColonyType}}<br />
The '''Earth-supported colony''' is the most simple among all colony types. As part of a [[colonization strategy]] it may be used for further on-site studies and the construction of more advanced colonies on [[Mars]]. It can be either a [[manned one-way mission]] or a colony with regularly changed crew.<br />
<br />
==Requirements==<br />
To keep [[human|human beings]] alive the following basic supplies are necessary:<br />
* [[Air]] to breath<br />
* [[Food]] to provide energy for the human metabolism<br />
* [[Heating]] of the artificial [[habitat]] to a temperature suitable for humans<br />
<br />
But there is more to keep human beings well and fit:<br />
* Facilities for daily [[physical exercise]] under the low Martian [[gravity]]<br />
* Company as well as privacy<br />
* Culture, motivation, psychological attendance, reason to live<br />
<br />
I don't know about all that psycho-spiritual enegry? but I do agree that there is a collective knowledge and similair experience through out history that is felt despite your RACE COLOR OR CREED that drives us to try and help one another in my opinion atleast. by RUSTESHACLEFERD<br />
<br />
==Support types==<br />
<br />
===Energy and food support===<br />
The colony receives regularly [[fuel]] and [[food]] from Earth. [[Greenhouse]]s are not necessary. [[Energy]] generation is needed mainly for heating. It can possibly be generated with [[nuclear power]].<br />
<br />
===Energy support===<br />
The colony receives regularly fuel from Earth. Greenhouses or [[biotechnology]] are necessary for local food production. The needed amount of energy is higher due to the fact that the energy efficiency factor of any food production is far below 1. With legacy greenhouse methods (artificially lit) the factor is about 0.001, which means the transportation of a thousandfold in energy from Earth to Mars in order to feed the colonists.<br />
<br />
===Partial energy support===<br />
If local energy resources are employed for local food production, the support from Earth may be reduced to cover heating and electric equipment.<br />
<br />
==Open Issues==<br />
* What kind of fuel can be brought from Earth to Mars with the highest energy density? Also, the mass, volume and maintainability of the power plant must be taken into consideration to answer this question.<br />
* What are the initial costs for each support type?<br />
* What are the long term costs for each support type?<br />
* What is known about the efficiency factor of some food production methods?<br />
