A Mars habitat concept refers to the theoretical and practical designs for human habitats on the planet Mars. These concepts aim to provide sustainable living environments that can support human life in the harsh Martian conditions, which include extreme cold, low atmospheric pressure, radiation, and lack of oxygen. Key aspects of Mars habitat concepts involve in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), where materials found on Mars are used to construct and maintain the habitats, as well as advanced life-support systems to recycle air, water, and waste. Notable proposals include underground habitats to shield inhabitants from radiation, 3D-printed structures using Martian soil, and modular designs that can be expanded as more colonists arrive. The translation for "Mars habitat concept" in Hebrew is רעיון מקום מגורים במרוק. In Chinese, it is 火星栖息地概念 (Huǒxīng qīxī dì guānniàn), and in Arabic, it is مفهوم مسكن على المريخ (Mafhum maskan 'ala al-Mirikh). These concepts are crucial for future missions, such as those planned by NASA's Artemis program and SpaceX's Starship, which aim to establish a permanent human presence on Mars.
