Low-cost solutions for Martian base Original Research Article

Technical and architectural problems of a Martian base have been arised in many publications. Usually there is one solution described in detail or general classification is presented. In this paper, a recognition of low-cost solutions for Martian architecture is analyzed. The overview through various building techniques based on previous concepts of extraterrestrial architecture is summarized. Several solutions taking advantages of the shape of terrain, aiming for cost decreasing of human settlement on Mars are proposed.
