Dust Storms

Mars is known for its large dust storms that can cover areas as large as a continent and last for several weeks. These storms are caused by strong winds, changes in temperature, and the planet's thin atmosphere. Despite their potential effects, dust storms on Mars are closely monitored by both Q.U.I.N. and our scientists To protect against major dust storms on Mars, our technologies include robust spacecraft and habitats, using advanced weather forecasting, deployed sensors and monitoring equipment, technology for removing or preventing dust accumulation, and using electrostatic dust shields and ionizers.
