The Caves of Mars Project was an early 2000s program funded through Phase II [clarification needed] by the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts [1] [2] to assess the best place to situate the research and habitation modules that a human mission to Mars would require. [3]
Types of cave entrances identified in the catalog include lava tube skylights, deep fractures, Atypical Pit Craters (APCs), and other void spaces in karst-similar terrains. Most entries in this catalog were identified through surveys of images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter‘s (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) and High Resolution Imaging ...
(M. Dowman, 1989) [1] 1990s era NASA design featuring 'spam can' type habitat landers. The downside may be minimal shielding for the crew, and two ideas are to use Mars materials, such as ice, to increase shielding, and another is to move underground, perhaps caves. A Mars habitat is a hypothetical place where humans could live on Mars.
The rover used its Mastcam instrument to capture the area on the 4,352 Martian day of the pioneering mission. Images of the area from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had shown light-colored ...

New images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter may show where life first began on Mars. The site on southern Mars shows massive deposits in a basin that scientists say were formed a long ...
Gravity on Mars is about 38% that of Earth, [8] allowing Martian lava tubes to be much larger in comparison. [9] Lava tubes represent prime locations for direct observation of pristine bedrock where keys to the geological, paleohydrological, and possible biological history of Mars could be found.
