  Many countries and commercial organizations have shown great interest in
constructing Martian base. In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) provides a
cost-effective way to achieve this ambitious goal. In this paper, we proposed
to use Martian soil simulant to produce fiber to satisfy material requirement
for the construction of Martian base. The composition, melting behavior and
fiber forming process of soil simulant was studied, and continuous fiber with a
maximum strength of 1320 MPa was obtained on a spinning facility. The findings
of this study demonstrate the feasibility of ISRU to prepare Martian fiber from
the soil on the Mars, offering a new way to get key materials for the
construction of Martian base.
