habitat where people can not only survive life on Mars, but really thrive there

Design studioand structural engineers Eckersley O’Callaghan () is one of the 10 finalist teams in phase 3 (virtual model stage) of NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge for Mars. Both companies partnered to design a, to protect the astronauts from the radiation, as well as micrometeorite strikes. The human-centric design was made with an approach that moves beyond the idea of astronauts as purely operators, to create a. The concept is well explained in this video, which forms part of the final submission and was made in collaboration with theConceptual design images for the project:of NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge:
