The United Arab Emirates is all set to start building “Mars Scientific City”. This is a DH500 million (Rs. 14.3 billion) project and the city will simulate life on planet Mars.
The announcement was made at the Annual Government meeting AGM which took place in Abu Dhabi.
The Largest Space Simulation:
The city will be spread across 1.9 million square feet. The whole design and concept of the city will be built in accordance with the environment of Mars. The city is by far the largest space simulated city ever built.
Space Simulation Concept
Space simulation cities is a concept on which scientists from all over the world are currently working. The idea is to study the environment of a celestial body and make a model of how life can exist for humans over there.
In recent years, NASA’s Curiosity rover found evidence of water’s presence on the surface of Mars. If this is true and life can exist on Mars, humans will definitely try to make a settlement there some time in the future.
Mission Mars 2117
The Mars scientific city is part of the Mars 2117 strategy which aims to build the first settlement on Mars within the next 100 years. This was decided in the fifth World Government summit.
UAE’s objective is to lead the global scientific race of taking people to Mars.
The Mars city will contain food, water, agriculture laboratories. Other laboratories for basic human needs will also be a part of the city. The city will have 3D printed walls made from the sand of the deserts of UAE.
There will be a museum that will display the achievements made in the scientific field which will greatly increase the youth’s interest in the field. It will also make the young generation more curious and enthusiastic about searching for life on another planet.
UAE’s Scientific Plans
Speaking about the achievements and efforts of UAE during the AGM, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE, Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum said:
We are seeking a better life and education as well as a stronger economy and the internationally most sophisticated infrastructure for generations to come.
Shaikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, also accompanied him during the meeting.
There were 30 other teams in the meeting which are working on the UAE Centennial 2071 plan.

Talk about Mars mission concept without mentioning Elon Musk and his SpaceX… You know nothing writer!
Ok enlighten us please
Elon Musk is for Mars mission what google is for search engines! Just 2 days ago he released his mars mission simulation video ahead of International Astronautical Congress (this UAE news also came now coz of IAC) which was a huge news for mars enthusiasts and international media.
SpaceX is his company working for interplanetary transportation system specially for mars. So a news related to mars should had some background on his work alone with NASA and general fillers like “Space simulation cities is a concept on which scientists from all over the world are currently working”
We are happy with the information provided in the article. There is no need to mention your Mr musk everywhere.
This idiot Elon Musk think that “AI” will cause WW3 LMAO. No doubt never underestimate these liberal and atheist fascist stupidity, root of all evil.
When you have lot of money and don’t know how to waste it, even tho. you can save millions of people from crises.
+1 Sane people still exist. Thanks ALLAH
So does Olympics, all sporting/entertainment events, Govt places etc (not defending the root cause).
was going to say the same, senseless Arabs always acting stupid.
People don’t even have clean water facility and they are building MARS on Earth. Shame…
+100 Sane people still exist. Thanks ALLAH
Pakistan Ko Bhi Apna Hissa Milana Chahyeh :
Maybe later….. Filhal to duniya Paskitan main apna HISSA dal rhi hai…
ye to already Mars he hy, na peene ka pani milta logo ko na bijli na gas.
