The solar irradiance on Mars is about half that we have on Earth, making it that much harder to sustain plantlife. In other words, we’re gonna need some robots. “Le petit prince” (the little prince) is a miniature greenhouse (concept) intended to walk a plant around Mars’ surface in search of optimal growing conditions—elements from light to nutrients. Eventually the robot masters its environment, sharing growing tips with a whole swarm of bots plant-growing robots.
