Abstract The dust storm characteristics on Mars were analyzed. The material properties of thermal control coatings, windows and mirrors affected by such dust storm parameters like particle velocity, their density, size and hardness are discussed. Investigation directions and methods for studying the dust storm environmental effects are presented. By studying the Mars dust storm environments in ground simulators, the numerical simulation method of mixed flow of backfilled gas and dust particles has been developed and the analysis of the flow characteristics of Mars dust storm conditions with different scale parameters has been conducted. The Mars dust storm environment simulator concept is presented that allows providing technical support in simulating the dust storm environmental conditions testing.
