Protection Before Colonization
To secure the future of Mars, we are deploying magnetic field generators in orbit to protect the planet from the sun's harmful rays.
Explore the ProjectMars' thin atmosphere is constantly eroded by solar winds. The magnetic shield will stop this erosion and allow the atmosphere to rebuild.
A magnetic field of 200 nanoTesla will block 99% of harmful solar radiation, protecting future colonists.
Before SpaceX and other colonization projects, establishing the magnetic shield system is critical to making Mars habitable. It must be completed before Elon Musk's 2029 target.
According to NASA Goddard research, Mars still has large amounts of underground water. The magnetic shield will increase atmospheric pressure and accelerate the melting of CO2 ice at the poles. This chain reaction could cause frozen surface water to melt and ancient riverbeds to become active again.
Critical Temperature: 92 Kelvin (-181°C)
Magnetic Field Capacity: Up to 45 Tesla
Power Density: 100 MW/m³
Operating Temperature: Liquid nitrogen cooling (-196°C)
Mars' average temperature of -80°C is ideal for maintaining ReBCO wires' superconducting properties. Passive cooling system minimizes energy requirements.
Wire Cost: $400,000 (2 km ReBCO wire)
Magnetic Coils: $300,000
Cooling & Control: $200,000
Testing & Calibration: $100,000
MIT Plasma Science Center 2023 research: Producing a 200 nT magnetic field
with ReBCO superconductors requires only 50 MW of power. This can be provided by three modern
nuclear reactors.
ESA Mars Express Data: Calculations of Mars' orbital velocity (24 km/s) and magnetic dipole moment
show that full planetary protection is possible with 6 satellites placed at 500 km altitude.

A 2017 NASA Goddard study mathematically proved that a magnetic shield placed at Mars' L1 point could reduce atmospheric loss by 90%. Redirecting solar winds could double atmospheric pressure within 50 years.
The ESA satellite, observing Mars since 2003, has detected the planet's magnetic field remnants. This data supports that an artificial magnetic shield could have planet-wide effects.
Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter data has confirmed the existence of 1.6 million km³ of water ice at the poles. Increased atmospheric pressure will melt this ice, initiating the water cycle necessary for life.
Princeton University Climate Dynamics Institute Model: After the magnetic shield is activated,
Mars' average temperature is predicted to increase by 20°C within 10-15 years. This increase is sufficient
for permafrost to melt and ancient stream beds to become active again.
Chain Effect: CO2 atmosphere → Greenhouse effect → Temperature increase → Water vapor → Stronger greenhouse effect
Using ReBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide) superconducting materials, maximum magnetic field production will be achieved with minimum energy consumption. Mars' cold environment provides a natural cooling advantage.
Six magnetic field generator satellites to be placed in Mars orbit will work in sync with each other to envelop the planet. Each satellite will produce a field of 33.3 nT.
The system's energy needs will be met by a combination of high-efficiency solar panels and nuclear RTG generators. Solar energy on Mars is 43% as effective as on Earth.
It is critical that the magnetic shield is active before Elon Musk's 2029 Mars mission target. Reducing radiation levels is essential for astronauts to work safely on the Martian surface. Without a magnetic shield, colonists could stay outside for a maximum of 2 hours per day, while with the shield, this time could increase to 8 hours per day.
