Man has been trying to unravel the mysteries of the universe for a long time. The intoxication of finding another world outside the world is also from that. The search for Mars begins with this innate curiosity in the human brain. The closest planet to Earth. The first sighting of the Earth took place in 1960 on this planet, which is 460 million miles away from the earth's surface.
Since then, the experiment has been going on. Failure-success and relentless efforts today represent the world on Mars. Seeking the existence of life. Dreaming of new settlements. But how do scientists make this new planet in the solar system livable?
In the current state of Mars, people will be able to survive there for more than 7 days? All these various discussions, criticisms and speculations will come to an end in this successful mission of NASA.
The US space agency NASA has had more successful missions to Mars this week. Its new spacecraft 'Perseverance Rover' has successfully landed on the Red Planet. It started preparing for landing just after midnight Bangladesh time on Thursday as per the pre-arranged time.
The plane landed in the Jezero Crater area of Mars at 2:55 p.m. After that, the world witnessed the first picture of the mysterious red planet. He will look into the existence of life on Mars for the next two years.
According to NASA scientists, there will be 'perseverance' on Mars for about 9 years. There he will collect 30 types of stone and soil samples. Then by 2030 he will return to the earth. NASA scientists hope that the return of the rover could open up new horizons for human habitation.
Selling one-way tickets to the Red Planet: Several organizations, including NASA, plan to send people and settle on the Red Planet in the coming years. However, the Dutch company 'Mars One' has promised to launch a Mars mission by 2023. They started selling tickets for that purpose.
Despite various debates and criticisms, more than two lakh people have applied so far. Of these, a short list of one lakh 56 thousand people has been made. According to the plan, the first 40 candidates will be selected. At the end of the training, four people will be selected.
Then in 2023, the first group of four astronauts will go to Mars. After that, new teams will join them every two years.
The spacecraft will reach in two-three months: Reaching the 'Red Planet' due to the long distance is quite a matter of time. It will take nine months for the current rocket-powered vehicle to go. The unmanned spacecraft sent to Mars by NASA took 126 to 333 days to arrive. Even for an experienced astronaut, it may be a long time.
This is the main reason why no project to send people to Mars has been able to proceed in that way. So engineers from NASA and other organizations are working to find a technology that can reach Mars in a very short time.
The goal is to reduce the time it takes to travel from Earth to Mars in three months or less. An American rocket manufacturing and operating company has started the work of making a special type of engine. Researchers claim that people will be able to reach Mars in just 39 days.
11 km per second. People have to manage speed: Maybe someone got a ticket to Mars and at one point the desired moment to go to the red planet in a spacecraft also came.
But the biggest challenge for him in this case will be to withstand the pressure of penetrating the gravitational force of the earth. The force of gravity is 40,000 km per hour. The rocket will run at a speed of about 11 km per second. This means that the person has to have enough ability to withstand this very high speed.
Mars will be the planet of the rich: research is in full swing. Ticket sales have started. Humans may one day be able to live on Mars. Maybe there will be settlements like the earth. But few people will get that opportunity. And the very rich will be the lucky ones. Mars is therefore being called the 'planet of the rich'.
For example, Elon Musk, owner of the rocket construction company SpaceX, plans to build a full-fledged city on Mars by 2050. He is one of the richest people in the world right now. Recently, its net financial assets have crossed the ৮ 16.5 billion mark.
How long will people live on Mars: In the next decade, efforts are underway to send people to Mars. But the question is, how long will people be able to stay there?
U.S. researchers have calculated that, given the hostile environment of Mars and the infrastructure built there, humans will gradually die after only 7 days. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have issued a warning in a 2014 study.
