Iceland Analog Habitat
In this project I worked with fellow collaborators Tobias C., Chelsea D., Jae C., Kush Z., Anna G., Gun B., Han N., and Alia B to create a home for astronauts to live in as if they would were isolated on Mars. We intended this structure to be deployable in Iceland as an analog to conditions on the Red Planet.
We each researched an aspect of the structure to determine how best create a structure and interior space usage that would make life in these "pods" livable, building on the work of similar NASA experiments in the past. With our combined foundational knowledge we aimed to add value for the astronauts to have a better experience living in the pods.
Renders
During the project I created these renders to highlight the features we developed on the outside of the analog habitat in an approximation of the environment the researchers would live in. These images would help NASA designers viewing our work be able to more clearly visualize the pods in their intended setting.
