NASA Mars Habitat Concept
Project | NASA 3D-Printed Mars Habitat Design
Teamate | Jinghao Xue, Zhe Liang
Instructor | Guvenc Ozel, Benjamin Ennemoser & Mertcan Buyuksandalyac
Location | Victoria Crater, Mars
This studio requires students to research and propose an additive manufacturing system that should mostly source local and indigenous materials (on Mars) for the production of the habitats. As an extension of the technical seminars from last two quarters, we are developing robotic end arm tools as a proof of concept, and also producing a full-scale prototype mock up that should be minimum the size of 3ft x 3ft. The robotic systems that are being considered for these systems should be optimized to reduce the payload for the mission to Mars. These mock-ups and fabrication methods can either use the actual material that the teams would like to propose or replace another material that uses a similar fabrication technique to communicate the ideas.
