BA-Forums Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Hey guys, I decided to draw bluey characters on Mars. Check it out! Now, about 48 hours later, I am currently expanding on that and decided to start a worldbuilding/story/project thingy. I have a lot to do, but I have came up with a basic layout of how this would work. The name of the international crewed Mars program is Phoenix. I am gonna need some help with sciencey bits and things like that. You guys got any ideas? I’ll post again soon for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BA-Forums Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 (edited) Part 1: Pre-Staging “Mars has been flown by, orbited, smacked into, radar examined, and rocketed onto, as well as bounced upon, rolled over, shoveled, drilled into, baked and even blasted. Still to come: Mars being stepped on.” - Buzz Aldrin Pre-Staging for Phoenix 1 (The first crewed mission to Mars) consists of 10 unmanned missions, to help prepare the landing site for crews: Habitat: The Hab is the Phoenix 1 crew's home on the Red Planet. More Habs will land as the base camp expands. Solar Panels: These will land with the Hab, and will be deployed by astronauts on arrival. Nuclear Reactor: A fission reactor that is landed and buried 10 feet under the ground, about 3 kilometers away from the Hab. MOXIE/WAVAR: An oxygenator and water generator, which will land with the Hab, and will be set up by astronauts on arrival. Communication Systems: A set of large comms dishes and radios. These will land with the Hab and deployed autonomously. Rovers: Two crewed rovers and four multi-purpose uncrewed rovers will land at the base. These will deploy autonomously. Consumable Supplies (3x): Items such as food, water, and things that the crew will use up. these will land half a kilometer from the base, in the MDAV landing zone. Hab Interior Equipment: Items such as flooring, walls, bunks, science experiments, EVA suit parts, and other equipment. This will land in an MDV-C (Mars Descent Vehicle, Cargo) in the MDAV landing zone, and be brought to the Hab set up by astronauts on arrival. To be continued...

I drew it on a physical sketchbook and then "rendered" it in Procreate, a digital art program available on iPad. I do this for all of my drawings. For color hexes and specific colors, I used actual photos of Mars and frames from The Martian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
