This page shows a typical settlement and includes links to Marspedia pages about the various settlement facilities and their characteristics.
If you want to design your own Mars facility, this is a good place to start!
Contents
Facilities
Storage
At the top of the colony plan you find a water storage tank, that feeds a water treatment facility.
Lodging
Three connecting modules link to buried habitats, using martian regolith for radiation protection
Greenhouses
Three greenhouses produce food, but also do some atmospheric processing.
Public spaces
A large dome serves a a public space
Power
Power is provided by photovoltaic power arrays. Down to the lower right a nuclear reactor provides power during the night of if a dust storm blocks the light for the photovoltaics.
Manufacturing
A Manufacturing area processes in situ materials. Minerals are used to create construction materials; atmospheric CO2 and Water ice to create propellant.
Wastewater treatment
A wastewater treatment plant takes in water from the settlement and the industrial processes and cleans it for re use.
Spaceport
A spaceport provide a prepared surface for visiting ships to land on.
Roads
Roads lint the various areas of the settlement together. Rovers use these to move faster than over the original terrain
Mining
Water ice and minerals are mined from the martian surface.
