摘要 A terraforming installation has a set of one or more bases to facilitate localized heating of a polar icecap in the presence of ambient flux of cosmic rays and muons. Each base includes equipment for deploying deuterium-containing particle fuel material over and onto the polar icecap, the material interacting with the ambient flux of cosmic rays and muons to generate kinetic-energy-containing products. The equipment may include any of one or more guns for projecting shells, orbital platforms releasing packages, and rovers dispersing the fuel material over designated areas of a polar ice cap. In one embodiment, a package of deuterium-containing particle fuel material is in the form of an artillery shell comprising a shell wall encasing the fuel material with a fuse and chemical explosive charge activated by the fuse to disperse the material at a targeted location and altitude. In another embodiment, local space heating units use micro-fusion reactions from disks coated with the particle fuel material to radiate thermal energy onto the icecap surface.
