This chapter focuses on the concept of mobile habitation on Mars. A description of Mars’ surface features is followed by a review of early concepts of crewed mobility for the Moon and Mars. Wheeled concepts for crew mobility continue to be based on the success of the Lunar Roving Vehicle, and predominantly take the form of a pressurized rover on wheels. With the help of architectural diagrams, the chapter introduces a range of habitable and mobile Mars structures, and the technologies used, taking into account mission requirements.
