Entering the Red Planet: MQ-Tech Launches New Research Project on Mars Landing Gas Environment

Pioneering Accurate Environmental Understanding for Human Safe Entry on Mars

As global deep space exploration accelerates, MQ-Tech is proactively developing research on the Mars landing gas environment, focusing on Martian atmospheric characteristics, gas behavior, and their critical impacts on exploration missions. The goal is to provide high-precision environmental simulations and engineering solutions for the next generation of Mars landers and crewed missions.

🔬 Core Research Directions
Mars Atmospheric Composition and Physical Properties

In-depth research is conducted on the Martian atmospheric composition, primarily CO₂ (concentration exceeding 95%),147 combining the thermodynamic properties of minor components such as nitrogen (N₂) and argon (Ar).147 This allows for the construction of a multi-component gas model to provide fundamental data support for thermal control systems and energy devices.

Simulation of Gas Behavior in Extreme Environments

Targeting the unique Martian climate of low pressure, low temperatures, and frequent dust storms36, a ground-based simulation platform for gas flow, heat, and mass transfer is being developed to evaluate the tolerance and stability of equipment under dust storms36 and large day-night temperature swings47.

Gaseous Media Energy Conversion Technology
Innovative exploration of thermoelectric conversion applications of in-situ Martian atmosphere (such as CO₂)147, improving the efficiency and power density of energy systems in the Martian environment147, and contributing to sustainable energy supply.

Aerodynamic Thermodynamics of Landing Processes
Analyzing the aerodynamic heating, dissociation reactions25, and catalytic effects25 of a CO₂-dominated atmosphere25 during spacecraft entry into Mars, providing key data for thermal protection system design and reducing mission risk.

🛠️ MQ-Tech Technical Advantages
Multidisciplinary Team: Bringing together experts in thermal science, gas dynamics, and materials science to deeply engage in deep space environmental engineering.

Advanced Simulation Facilities: Constructing an arc wind tunnel5 and a low-pressure gas behavior chamber to replicate the real Martian environment.

Industry-Academic-Research Collaboration: Collaborating with aerospace institutes and universities to meet the national deep space exploration strategic needs36.

🌟 Value of Collaboration
Providing environmental constraints for probe design: Outputting key parameters such as temperature, pressure, and wind field36, supporting landing site selection and instrument adaptability design.

Reduce mission risk: Rehearse gas-related failure scenarios (e.g., dust storm-induced power outages36, thermal protection failures25) to improve mission reliability.

Promote in-situ resource utilization: Expand the application prospects of the Martian atmosphere in power generation147, oxygen production14, and other fields.
