MARS-CITY.ORG: DISCOVER A NEW CULTURE
Research and dissemination
Space Economy is a cross-sector and multidisciplinary industry. Incredible new business opportunities are emerging not only for innovative and start-up companies but also for traditional companies. Technologies developed for Space activities will have an high impact on tradigional markets. The Mars City is a hub where research, technology and know-how come together to seize these opportunities.
MARS CITY wants to become a reference point in the Space industry. It’s a sector that will radically change the economy of the planet Earth as never before.
We are a research centre and, at the same time, an across-the-board network in the entire supply chain, within which we bring new technologies, skills and processes, to attract the best minds and the leading international companies.
The most pragmatic aspect of project is the development of technical and strategic ideas and solutions that will give rise to patents and will make it possible to develop new businesses.
Nowaday in Europe, a private leadership of the Space industry has not yet been established. It’s not too late to take this position and it is not too early to start thinking about it. This is the right time.
A brand new analog environment: the Space area
The Space analogs are the beating heart of the hub. Simulators are available to simulate a manned space mission in a lunar or Martian environment. Space labs allow you to operate under the same restrictions as a space station. Mars City provides tools, technologies, and procedures for testing space-related systems. The simulations accelerate the products and services development in fields like medicine, robotics, biotechnology, and sociology. Thanks to the presence of living modules, the analogs can host missions that last for periods ranging from some weeks to some months. Many studies can be conducted about Space psychology, privacy, and behavior. Companies and researchers can monitor the activities through control rooms remaining at the center of the City.
SIMULATORS
Mars Simulator
The Mars analog is composed of a unique dome in which is located a Mars Station where astronauts can live and conduct different experiments. A Mars alike regolith around the area can be used to test extravehicular activities and robotics exploration of Mars. The dome of the Mars analog will be equipped with systems able to simulate Mars wind and temperature, to host experiments on dust and environmental protection.
SIMULATORS
Lunar Simulator
The Moon analog has a pressurized environment with special instrumentation for Space medicine experiments, to test future pressurized habitats on the moon. Another laboratory to test 3d printing technology for moon exploration application, study on moon materials, radiation protection techniques, and space telecommunications tests.
SIMULATORS
Space Laboratories
Their cylindrical modules aim to provide the same environment that astronauts experience in the Space Stations. These labs are flexible and can host many different experiments ranging from tests on systems and apparatuses to agriculture and telemedicine.

An ultimate multidisciplinary environment:
Multidisciplinary research leads to superior discoveries and technologies. Mars City Labs offer companies an ideal environment where they can develop innovative solutions, stay current on the trendiest discoveries, and experience the high value of a diverse network. Taking advantage of the proximity of the research area aside from the simulators, Mars City’s unique logistics will foster the research and development of new products and accelerate the entrance of new businesses into the Space Economy.
In-house research
Mars City’s In-House Labs aim to develop its own technologies to overcome the “Five Obstacles to Mars.” Mars City is offering its expertise and facilities to democratize the opportunity to face these challenges, through the use of appropriate tools and settings.
