// OVERVIEW

Phase 3 addresses radiation: shielding a world without a magnetic field of its own, including artificial-magnetosphere concepts such as a magnetic dipole at Mars-L1.

It is long-horizon and research-gated — feasibility studies today, not deployment.

// WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW

Now: feasibility studies on magnetospheric shielding architectures.

// DEPENDENCIES

Enables Phase 2 atmosphere to persist; deep research dependency.

// METHODS
01

Magnetospheric shield

Study an artificial dipole at a Lagrange point.

02

Local shielding

Regolith and structure for surface protection now.

03

Atmosphere retention

Reduce stripping to let an atmosphere persist.

We don't speculate. We sequence.

Every phase has a horizon and a piece of work happening at its near edge today.
