Mareekh Dynamics Engineering solutions for human habitation on Mars MISSION
Mars is calling and we are heeding it it.

A BIT ABOUT US
Mareekh Design is a Pakistani-Australian space technology start-up aiming to provide engineering solutions for establishing human habitation on Mars. Our objective is to produce low cost, extremely efficient human habitation structures based on our proposed Craterhab design that made it to the list of top ten finalists in International Mars City State Design Competition 2020. We fin

d strength in our Craterhab technology that can be tested on Earth at a very low cost by creating Mars simulation bases to test the parameters of the Craterhab concept before embarking on the humanity’s next giant leap. As humanity is gearing up for its next giant leap by becoming interplanetary, we are aiming to be part of the equation by playing our role in the advent of this new age in Human history; the Interplanetary Age
We aim to achieve this by constructing human habitation modules based on our Craterhab technology as small to large scale Mars simulation bases in order to test every possible parameter of Human habitation based on our design. LOW COST
Our Craterhab technology is low cost and Its construction and installation would require minimum engineering and time. SAFETY
Not only the Craterhab design will protect against low atmospheric pressures and temperatures, it will also provide reasonable amount of protection against solar and cosmic radiation, obviating the need for creating tons of regolith or water shielding in many contemporary models that carry huge costs and potential risk to human lives inside the habitats. Craterhab technology offers all-in-one solution for human habitation for its liveability, aesthetics, and safety from elements, in one design.

Mars was once a volcanically active world billions of years ago, resulting in the formation of exceptionally large volcanic features, including the largest volcanoes in the Solar System, and an incredible network of very large volcanic tubes and caves. Protected from solar and cosmic radiation, the interior of these tubes can provide excellent protected environments to install early habitation infrastructures such as small Craterhabs to help establish an early presence of humans on Mars.
Here is a new blog post on our website with a brief discussion of this interesting topic.

Lava caves and tunnels on MarsMars is a frigid, cold and geologically 'dead' world. But even the very first look of the planet reveals structures such as extinct volcanoes and lava flow channels, telling a different story from its untold past. Mars is home to the largest volcanoes that ever existed....

We are pleased to announce successful incorporation of Craterhab-Chile, our new joint venture company in partnership with our partners in South America.
For details, follow this link.

Mareekh Dynamics is proud to announce incorporation of our joint venture in South America with our Latam partners - Craterhab Chile. Earlier this year, we started consultations for the application of our proprietary pressurized habitat system (The Craterhab) designed for Martian surface conditions,....

First proof of concept pressure testing of a Cratehab benchtop prototype at Karachi Space Observatory, Pakistan (17 Oct 2025).

This is a major milestone in our technology development for Martian habitats and for high-altitude terrestrial environments.
This is a 1m-diameter Nylon-TPU fabric composite dome, made up of adjoining composite polygons for optimal stress distribution on the structure. Kevlar could be more ideal as the dome fabric, but due to the difficulty in procuring aramids in Pakistan, Nylon-TPU composite was chosen.

The maximum inflation pressure achieved in this first testing was +2.4 bar, with a sustained pressure of +2.0 bar, which is at at least 3x - 4x safety factor for the Martian habitats with +0.6 bar inflation pressure.

So, how much is +2.4 bar pressure? To put it into perspective, it is equivalent of the weight of 12 large SUVs over the dome surface area of 1.5 sqm trying to blow it apart from inside.
Big hand to Muhammad Mehdi Hussain (CTO, Mareekh Dynamics) and his team of engineers for this remarkable feat of engineering.

This successful demonstration will pave our way for the construction of larger Craterhab MVPs such as the 10 m diameter prototype project in Australia, and our pilot project at high-altitude sites in Chile.

New blog post on our website, addressing the latent heat problem and discussing a case of utilizing it in an interesting application in the Martian context. Let's delve deeper into the world of Thermodynamics.

Mareekh Process is our patented ISRU hybrid power generation concept for Mars (Patent no. US 11421559 B1)In a nutshell, Mareekh Process utilizes recovered subsurface ice on Mars (permafrost or subsurface glaciers) as superheated water and releases it in the power generation apparatus (steam turbines...
