Description

2023 - Expedition 1: The Mars Corporation launches its first manned mission to Mars. 

2024 - Humans on Mars: Meridian Base is established in Margaritifer. Bradbury Base is established in lower Tharsis shorly.

2027 - Heinlein Station is established in the Tharsis Territory. The Mars Corporation begin distributing genetically modified bacteria across Mars to generate ozone, oxygen, and heat. Other species are introduced to process the toxic dirt into usable soil.

2030: In-Situ 3D Printers begin building propulsion systems on Ice and Carbon rich asteroids in the Asteroid Belt to send them on the long, eccentric orbit into the Martian atmosphere.

2031: MarsCorp and Venus Group begin building of a series of propulsion systems on the largest asteroids in the belt using In-Situ Printers. Similar efforts are made on Phobos and Deimos to position them in more stable orbits and collide with these other bodies, thus creating larger moons to build a more permanent magnetic field.

2033 - The Green Magnetoshield is placed at Mars L1. The inflatable superconducting coil provides a 2 Tesla Magnetic Field to protect Mars from solar radiation.

2035 - Praxis Group begins construction of the first Space Elevator on Mars using Molecular Compilers originally developed for DNA printing.

2036 - Solar Reflectors arrive at Mars. Named for ancient gods of the Sun and Dawn, these continent sized mirrors begin accelerating the heating of the planet.

2037 - The Gondor Colony is established on Titan to send valuable Nitrogen to Mars. The First seas appear on Mars.

2039 - Huygens Agreement: MarsCorp and Galileo Development enter into a partnership that binds the inner and outer system's colonies under a single market, and ensures Nitrogen from Titan will flow to Mars unabated. MarsCorp begins deploying hosts of genetically modified algae, lichens, fungi, and mosses across the planet to aid in terraforming. 

2041 - Vesta and Pollux reach Martian orbit and are heated using the mirrors to a semi-molten state, along with Deimos. All three bodies collide into eachother and fuse into a single mass that takes on a spheroidal shape. 

2044 - Several "Cold Pockets" are created on New Deimos using graphene heat sinks to bleed off the intense heat near the surface. 

2047 - Mars's expanding seas are stocked with genetically tailored corals as the algae blooms that thrive in the iron rich seas produce a great deal of oxygen. The first hosts of planktonic organisms are stocked into the oceans to keep the algae populations in check.

2051 - Martian surface pressure in Valles Marineris is now high enough for humans to operate without pressure suits.

I received a vision in my dream last night of a map of the first human expedition to Mars and it remains to be seen whether I'll bring it into reality, but it will look similar and take inspiration from your maps like this. Just a heads up. The canon will be entirely my own, but it may end up still being feature-able in the SR group/timeline.
