The habitat known as Mars Dune Alpha imagines what life might be like for humans on the Red Planet.
Conceptualized byBjarke Ingels Group(BIG), it was commissioned byNASAto test 3D printing techniques for human habitations.
The test will include a year-long simulation of life on Mars which will begin in fall 2022.
All the while, the astronauts in training must continue their research and training.
Mars Dune Alpha will take us one step closer to becoming a multi-planetary species.
Ceiling heights vary throughout the project with a large arch design planned for unique areas of the space.
Mars Dune Alpha is not the only project BIG and ICON are working on for NASA.
