Scientists have proposed to create an artificial magnetosphere for Mars

Phobos is one of two Martian moons and orbits the planet so closely that it makes a flyby

Mars every eight hours.So the team proposes to exploit Phobos by ionizing particles from its surface and then accelerating them so they create a plasma surface, a torus, along Phobos's orbit. This would create a magnetic field strong enough to protect Mars.

The exploration of Mars is the dream of mankind.Therefore, in order to make Mars the second Earth, you need to create an artificial field for it. His day is the same in time as on Earth. It has a lot of frozen water below the surface, which will create a breathable atmosphere over time. Magnetic fields protect against solar wind and ionizing particles.

Planes will have to fly higher: the lower layer of the atmosphere is inflating more and more every year

Earth's magnetic field prevents contact withthe surface of most high energy charged particles. They deviate from the Earth, keeping the planet safe. Previously, Mars had a dense, water-rich atmosphere that was severely depleted without the protection of a magnetic field.

Recreate the Earth's magnetic field on Mars is notsimply. Our field is generated by a dynamic effect in the Earth's core, where the convection of iron alloys generates the Earth's geomagnetic field. The interior of Mars is smaller and cooler, and you can't just "fire it up" to create a magnetic field.

Ideas for creating a Martian magnetic fieldwere proposed earlier and usually included either ground-based or orbital solenoids (a wire spiral around which a magnetic field is created when an electric current is passed). They provide a basic level of magnetic protection.

The plan proposed by the scientists seems to be achievable, despite possible technical hurdles. But, as the authors note, now is the time for bold ideas and their implementation.
