Abstract:The exploration and utilization of space resources is one of the important purposes of deep space exploration. Mars, being the most accessible planet with pressing resource utilization demands, necessitates the exploration and in- situ utilization of its resources. These activities are vital for the future of manned exploration and base construction on Mars. In this paper, we conduct an analysis of the various types of Martian resources, including atmospheric resources, water resources, soil and rock mineral resources, as well as wind and solar energy resources. We also create a global distribution map of Martian resources and propose the potential areas for future Mars base construction based on resource distribution. In addition, this paper provides a comprehensive summary of the research progress and issues surrounding in- situ resource utilization technology on Mars. It also highlights the need for further research in the following aspects: enhancing targeted surveys and evaluations of Martian resources, developing new resource utilization models and technologies, establishing comprehensive evaluation models for resource utilization costs, and improving laws and regulations pertaining to resource development and utilization.
