Martian Super-greenhouse gases
Carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) is an ideal super greenhouse gas, but eventually it will be broken down by Ultraviolet light (UV) by losing a Fluorine atom. The fluorine is HIGHLY reactive, likely combining with CO2 to form COF (which still missing a valence electron, so it will perhaps collect an H, or an OH eventually). The CF3 will eventually form another molecule such as CF3OH or CHF3.
- What is the duration of COF- in the Martian atmosphere, and its relative warming number?
- What is the duration of COFH in the Martian atmosphere, and its relative warming number?
- What is the duration of CF3H in the Martian atmosphere, and its relative warming number?
- What is the duration of CHF3 in the Martian atmosphere, and its relative warming number?
- What is the duration of CF3OH in the Martian atmosphere, and its relative warming number?
Medical effects of long term exposure to 43% gravity
- What are the long term medical effects of humans or mammals living in Martian Low gravity?
- What is the minimum gravity needed to avoid long term damage?
Radiation protection for short term missions
- Any EVA is dangerous on Mars. Is the risk of filling sandbags with dirt and placing them on the top of a habitat, lower than the Radiation risk reduction from having a layer or two of sandbags above you for a ~555 day long stay?
Industrial percursors
- Is it possible for a small, low mass, machine be able to make 3D printing resin for a 3D printer out of Martian materials?
