Assessment of Wind Energy Resource Potential for Future Human Missions to Mars
2022-04-15
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Future crewed missions to Mars will require sustained sources of energy, including solar, nuclear and wind energy. Using a state-of-the-art Mars general circulation model, we analyze the Martian wind potential and calculate its spatial and temporal variability. Here we show that wind speeds at several proposed landing sites are sufficiently fast to provide an alternative energy source,...
