	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">This paper presents methods of orbit transfer for small
planetoids from the main belt to the future colonies on Mars using current
technologies. The results show that </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">by </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">using nuclear weapon or even kinetic energy
weapon (for retrograde bodies) asteroids with masses up to about 100 tons can
be moved. Both options assume that asteroid will survive explosion.</span>
