Human landing, exploration and settlement on Mars will require local compute resources at the Mars edge. Landing such resources on Mars is an expensive endeavor. Instead, in this paper we lay out how concepts from low-Earth orbit edge computing may be applied to Mars edge computing. This could lower launching costs of compute resources for Mars while also providing Mars-wide networking and compute coverage. We propose a possible Mars compute constellation, discuss applications, analyze feasibility, and raise research questions for future work.
