Method for forming ozone protection in the atmosphere of mars
https://patents.google.com/patent/RU2617596C1/en?oq=4402480

Abstract
FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method involves placing a hollow metal cable in the lower layers of the Mars atmosphere with pores on the surface. During the Martian dust storm, the metal cable is charged due to the triboelectric effect. This induces atmospheric spark discharges, leading to the formation of ozone. Through the pores of the cable, nitric acid is released, which stabilises ozone.
EFFECT: possibility of forming ozone protection in the atmosphere of Mars, regardless of the presence of solar UV radiation.

Description
translated from Russian
The invention relates to the field of space research and technology and can be used for forming ozone protection Mars atmosphere as well as for experimental ground tests of this technology.

Known is a method of forming ozone protection Mars atmosphere by emission portion of the gas mixture Mars station Mars atmosphere in which oxygen contained in the emissions, subjected to hard ultraviolet solar radiation is converted into ozone / RU 2573699 C1; V64G 1/48, E21S 51/00; 23/10/2014; 01.27.2016 /.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the need to use for the formation of ozone protection of the solar radiation, thus preventing the formation of ozone protection during dust storms, as well as at night.

The object of the invention is the formation of ozone in the atmosphere of Mars protection during dust storm.

Said object is achieved due to the fact that according to the inventive method for forming ozone in the atmosphere Mars protection arranged hollow metal cable with pores on the surface and in the dust storm metal cable electrically charged and produce nitric acid excretion from inside the cable through the pores.

The invention is characterized by the following essential characteristics: loading the electric placed in an atmosphere of metal cable Mars during dust storm; separation of nitric acid from within the cable through the pores in the dust storm.

Said totality of essential distinctive features allows the formation of ozone in the atmosphere Mars protection during dust storm.

Specific atmosphere Mars dust storms due to electrification of rubbing dust particles promote occurrence of atmospheric electrical spark discharges, as evidenced by the results of studies showing that in terms of dust storms on Mars with the electric field intensity of 20-25 kV / m having independent large-scale electric discharges that cause degradable core component Mars atmosphere - carbon dioxide - in the carbon monoxide and oxygen and the formation of ozone from oxygen.

Gregory T. Delory et al. "Oxidant enhancement in Martian dust devils and storms: storm electric fields and electron dissociative attachment", Astrobiology, vol. 6, number 3, 2006).

Electrical loading placed in an atmosphere of metal cable Mars during dust storm initiates occurrence atmospheric electrical spark discharges, resulting in the generation of ozone in the atmosphere during the Mars dust storm, both in daytime and nighttime.

The presence of small amounts of nitric acid stabilizes ozone / Great Soviet Encyclopedia, third edition, vol. 18, p. 324, column 959 /, therefore the selection of nitric acid inside the cable through the pores in the dust storm helps preserve generates ozone in the atmosphere of Mars. Acid advisable to use a concentrated, such as common metals, such as iron, aluminum, chromium, readily soluble in dilute nitric acid, is resistant to concentrated nitric acid / TSB, Vol. 1, p. 299, col. 873 /. In other respects the invention is carried out by known methods and means.

Thus, the electric loading placed in an atmosphere of metal cable Mars during pale yellow storms due to initiation electrically charged rope atmospheric electrical spark discharges, resulting in the decomposition of the main component - Mars atmosphere - carbon dioxide - and ozone formation allows the formation of ozone protection Mars atmosphere during dust storm.

Thus selection of nitric acid inside the cable through the pores in the dust storm due to the properties of nitric acid and ozone enables ozone and stabilize by storing generates ozone in the Mars atmosphere promotes the formation of ozone in the atmosphere Mars protection during dust storm.
