The winners of the contest by NASA to develop habitats in space was recently announced. One of the most prominent was the project MARSHA (Mars Habitat) created by the New York company AI Spacefactory, which developed a 3D printed house to live on Mars, and received an award of almost $ 21,000.
The “3D-Printed Habitat Challenge” developed by NASA was created in 2014, in order to promote the development of sustainable shelters created with materials from each place and with possibilities for development outside of Earth. Along with these projects, projects like the lunar village are expected to be a possibility in 2030.
MARSHA will be created to withstand the inclement weather on Mars
Development of MARSHA: House to live on Mars
The development of IA Spacefactory hopes to be able to develop buildings using existing materials from the surface of the red planet. With the use of 3D technologies and taking advantage of materials in situ (ISRU) , the team is formulating an innovative blend of biotrastic (polylactic acid, PLA gold) and processed from plants grown on Mars. Which would avoid having to carry materials from Earth and encourage more sustainable development.
