Mars

Mars or "the Red Planet" is where Per Aspera takes place, tasking the player with terraforming and colonising the hostile planet.

Mars in Per Aspera is populated with various Points of Interest such as real and fictive landing sites (such as Perseverance which landed on February 18, 2021). Craters and other natural landmarks (like the Jezero Crater) are also accurately positioned and identified.

There are some storms and asteroid crashes for the players to consider.
