Scientific paper

This paper presents a design for a prototype Mars base simulating an inhabited Mars mission on Earth to determine the feasibility of maintaining humans in a self-sustaining system providing food, air and water regeneration. The system will be initially designed for a team of four, but the biosphere modules will be constructed so that they can be replicated and the numbers increased to support more occupants over time. In addition to the basic layout of the closed system, a comprehensive approach to the design of such a long- term sustainable space biosphere will be presented. Levels of structures include components of the geosphere, biosphere, ethnosphere, technosphere, cybersphere, &noosphere.
