The flag of Mars is a tricolor used to represent the planet of Mars . While not official in any legal sense, it has been approved by the Mars Society and The Planetary Society , and it has also flown in space. Carried into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery by astronaut John Mace Grunsfeld on STS-103 , this flag portrays the "future history" of Mars. The red bar, which lies closest to the mast, symbolizes Mars as it is today. The green and blue symbolize stages in the possible terraforming of Mars should humanity ever have the will and the ability to undertake such a task. Kim Stanley Robinson 's popular trilogy Red Mars , Green Mars , and Blue Mars provided the concept for the flag. The Mars flag flies over the Flashline Mars Arctic Research Station (FMARS) on Devon Island , Canada , and is displayed in a few places in the Mars Desert Research Station campus in Utah .
