The ecological environment will change dramatically on earth in the year 2050 and human beings will be faced with serious issues such as resources shortages, population explosion and environmental pollution. Mars exploration has become an important mission of space exploration as Mars is the planet with the closest environment to earth and is most likely to be transformed for mass migration. The first group of settlers will live in a closed city on Mars in 2050 and they will carry out different activities including resources exploration, habitat construction, logistics distribution etc. My concept is an exploratory research vehicle which can work in some remote areas on Mars. The vehicle can accommodate four researchers for scientific investigation on different terrains and considers topography, energy, temperature, atmospheric pressure and other factors. The purpose is to explore Mars and build a new world for the future generations, while promoting the growth of space and contributing to human progress.
