Doubling Sunlight for a Human Mars Base With Orbiting Solar Reflectors
Ari Essunfeld, Yuji Takubo, Adrian Dumitrescu +4
The Sun's faintness at Mars' orbit makes producing energy, melting ice, and staying warm more difficult. Orbiting solar reflectors (OSRs) can augment sunlight at Mars, but the area…
A research roadmap for assessing the feasibility of warming Mars
E. S. Kite, A. Essunfeld, M. H. Hecht +22
This roadmap outlines research pathways to determine whether Mars could be warmed with non-biological methods. It does not presuppose that warming Mars is desirable; its purpose is…
Modelling the long-term impacts of artificial warming on the Martian water cycle and surface ice distribution
Ashwin S. Braude, Edwin S. Kite, Mark I. Richardson +2
Recent papers by Ansari et al. (2024, Science Advances 10, eadn4650) and Richardson et al. (2025, arXiv eprint 2504.01455) have suggested that global warming of the Martian surface…
