# Modular Mars Exploration Modules This Futuristic Mars Rover Helps with Alien Planet Settlements By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-06-23 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futuristic-mars-rover References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/futuristic-mars-rover-for-indian-space-agency-isro-in-2040-is-oriented-to-a-modular-system/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/Samarjitwaghela) This futuristic mars rover concept has been created for the [Indian Space Agency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-motorocycle) (ISRO) as a modular system that would provide settlers of the red planet with a way to maintain autonomy as they explore in the year 2040. The system is imagined for the future manned mission to Mars and includes four modules that would accommodate a range of essentials functionalities. This includes Scouting, Deep Excavation, Habitat Building and Logistics, which would work to support explorers as they create a colony. The futuristic mars rover concept is the design work of Samarjit Waghela and is built on the basis of a [modular rover](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system) in order to effectively serve multiple purposes for a more holistic user experience. The system also incorporates [artificial intelligence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tron-2) to help carry out missions with simple commands. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Modular Mars Exploration:** Opportunity for developing modular systems to support autonomy in future Mars settlements. ### Where This Applies - **Space Exploration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for developing advanced technologies for future manned missions to Mars. - **Robotics:** Opportunity for designing modular and AI-powered rovers to assist in Mars exploration. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Opportunity for incorporating AI technologies to improve mission efficiency and user experience in Mars exploration. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Planetary Exploration Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astrolab-flex-rover.md) - [Vehicle-Inspired Lunar Rovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-lunar-rover.md) - [Post-Colonization Mars Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacex-fusion-concept.md) - [Mars ATV Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atv-trike.md) - [Algae-Powered Rover Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-rover.md) - [Mechanical Legged Mobile Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-home-concept.md) - [Mobile Otherworldly Hotel Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mobile-resort-hotel.md) - [Solar-Powered Charging Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-mars-bot.md) - [Futuristic Lunar Terrain Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunar-terrain-vehicle.md)
