NASA’s CHAPEA Project
It is called “Mars Dune Alpha” and is a 1,700-square-foot building made with 3D printing at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. It has bedrooms, bathrooms, a work area, a robot station, a gym, and a vertical farm, among other things. It is next to a 1,200-square-foot area that is used to simulate events that would happen outside of vehicles on Mars. The setup includes red, rocky cliffs and simulated Martian dirt to make the experience more real.
It is always interesting to see different technologies converging.
3D printing is really going to expand our potential with space.
I can say 3D is increasingly becoming demanding these days.
Well it allows for the creation of things in a manner that is different from how we do it on Earth. We are starting to incorporate it here but when it comes to space, put a printer in operation and less humans needed.
