Project TERRA

Project TERRA is AISU's research and development programme for the environmental modification of extraterrestrial bodies — commonly known as terraforming. The project investigates the theoretical and technical requirements for transforming planets such as Mars and Venus into environments capable of supporting Earth-type biospheres.

Background

As human space exploration advances, the long-term habitability of other worlds becomes an increasingly concrete research objective. Project TERRA approaches this problem through ecological engineering, synthetic biology, and planetary atmospheric science.

Activities

Research into environmental modification technologies for Mars, Venus, and other planetary bodies
Study of biosphere construction through ecological engineering
Development of plant and microbial transplantation and cultivation technologies for extraterrestrial environments
Research into artificial biome construction
