Mars Farm: the movie "Mars Rescue" appeared in astronaut nutrition Wate Ni body at the base after he tried to plant some potatoes. In fact, the astronauts in space has begun planting crops, such as: the recent international space station astronauts, "vegetarian" experiment for the first time to harvest the lettuce. This will build the future of humanity farm Mars brings hope.
Water system: In the movie "Mars Rescue", the astronaut Wate Ni facing scarcity of drinking water, this challenge also exists in the lives of astronauts in space, they cycle through urine, sweat, etc., to get drinking water. For future space missions, NASA's attempt to improve water filtration system to ensure astronauts carry less water in case the water planet.
Mars made oxygen apparatus: the movie "Mars Rescue" astronauts Wate Ni using the "oxygenator" on the Martian surface to obtain oxygen, which means Mars aircraft fuel by extracting oxygen from the carbon dioxide in the machine. Currently, astronauts in the International Space Station using an oxygen production system separating the water molecules become hydrogen and oxygen, the oxygen is supplied into the space station astronauts to breathe, some of the hydrogen is used to produce water.
Mars spacesuit: the movie "Mars Rescue" Wate Ni astronauts spend a lot of time wearing a spacesuit repair base on Mars, and complete remote journey to Mars.
Currently, NASA's space suit technology being developed for future human landing on the Martian surface, for example: Z-2 and space exploration suit prototype. From the bottom to put astronauts on Mars space suit, it can be exposed to the Martian surface environment, maximize avoid dust into the spacesuit.
Mars Rover: the movie "Mars Rescue" for the completion of the rover excursion, but after a few technical improvements can Wate Ni travel to distant areas. Currently, NASA is developing more than six mission space exploration vehicle (MMSEV), it is very flexible and able to complete the task on Mars or asteroid surface micro gravity environment. It is reported that, MMSEV appear flat tire can be quickly restored, it can be left floating damaged wheel, ensure the normal operation of the other wheel.
Ion thruster: In the movie "Mars Rescue", the astronaut Watney and other colleagues take the "Hermes number" spacecraft, spacecraft using ion thrusters that travel between Earth and Mars. Currently, NASA has begun to use ion propulsion, for example: currently in Ceres orbit, "Dawn" probe. Meanwhile, NASA is developing an upgraded version of xenon thruster.
Solar: In the movie "Mars Rescue", the astronaut Watney had a lot of solar panels, far beyond his needs, he decided to use some of the solar panels to help him survive the Martian surface. Over the years, in many NASA space probe also uses solar panels, the ISS will have four sets of solar panels, currently being developed, "Orion" spacecraft also used solar technology.
Nuclear Energy: In the movie "Mars Rescue", the Mars vehicle using radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) to provide power, heat it can be produced by the decay of radioactive plutonium-238 into electricity, at the same time, RTG and astronaut rest cabin distance. Currently, NASA officials said the recent US Department of Energy to restart production of plutonium-238, will soon be able to manufacture 1.5 kg per year.
