Mars 2025 Challenge:

Fuego is an edition of the Mars Challenge focused on developing innovative solutions for energy and resource management in extreme conditions, such as those found on Mars.

This challenge seeks to boost the creativity of young people to address energy and sustainability challenges that impact both Earth and space exploration.

Target

Encourage University Entrepreneurship with National and International Challenges.

Generate disruptive and collaborative solutions for the colonization of Mars, with a positive impact on our planet Earth.

Creation of an active and strong network of young leaders committed to space exploration and innovation in STEAM, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing through the Replication Effect program.

Challenge 2025

Fire, Energy and Fuels in Mars Exploration
The challenge is to design innovative energy or fuel solutions for a six-person crew to survive and operate on Mars for two years. Participants can focus their proposals on interplanetary travel or Mars operations, addressing energy generation, storage, and efficient use, as well as sustainable fuel management. These solutions should also have applications to Earth’s energy challenges.

In 2025, participants have one main challenge:

Create solutions that target energy sustainability on Mars, with application on Earth. This challenge directly targets Sustainable Development Goal 7 dedicated to Affordable and Clean Energy.
