Abstract
After surveying 1,500 images from MRO, this investigation has identified three candidate lava tubes in the vicinity of Hadriacus Mons as prospective sites for manned exploration. This investigation, therefore, concluded that terrestrial lava tubes can be leveraged for radiation shielding and, accordingly, that the candidate lava tubes on Mars (as well as known lava tubes on the lunar surface) can serve as natural radiation shelters and habitats for a prospective crewed mission to the planet.
