- Abstract
The strategic necessity of development of Mars is that the time favorable for life conditions on the Earth is limited. Quantity of energy which is radiated the Sun with the course of time grows. In outcome are ever more heated a surface of the Earth and atmosphere, and it degrades living conditions of vegetative and fauna. At mean temperature for a planet, equal 25-30 C degrees, the life should vanish. The size of the sun will be augmented step by step in the sizes, as a result of which Earth will appear in a zone of solar gas effect, and all alive on her will perish. The mankind has time to elaborate technologies permitting to exist on an incandescent planet - development and building of underground cities or development of other planets. So, in connection with planning in not the absolutely far future by some leading space mandatory powers to begin development of Martian spaciousnesses with the help of manned expeditions the increasing urgency gain problems of a capability of creation on Mars of conditions suitable for life of more highly organized organisms: funguses, plants, animal, people. In this connection the extremely actual problem of finding - out of a capability is represented as it is possible of a full approaching of parameters of a Mars atmosphere to Earth. Numerical simulation of the effect of hard ionizing radiation and photosynthesis on the atmosphere confirms the hypotheses that an atmosphere similar to the Earth’s atmosphere can result from degassing of nitrogen or nitrogen-containing compounds and carbon dioxide from the planet surface followed by photosynthetic processing of CO2 into molecular oxygen, and the life origin is abiogenic. It was shown that amino acid and protein production is natural and complementary process during the formation of atmosphere such as Earth’s. In particular, as the atmosphere of a volcano fissile planet is exposed to sunlight, the nitrogen-protein-oxygen scheme is the most reasonable, adequate, and efficient to explain the existing atmosphere and origin of life on the Earth. This is the way to modify Martian atmosphere.
