NASA Mars 3D Printed Habitat Competition

NASA Mars Settlement Competition

What is this page about?

This page contains analysis from UKSDC volunteers on designs that reached the later stages of the NASA centennial challenge: 3D printed Mars Habitat Competition. All of the designs are obviously of incredible quality having reached the phase 2 and phase 3 stages of a NASA competition and we do not expect to see stuff near this quality, but it should help to give you all a variety of ideas. This helps to show you that there are a huge variety of viable options for handling any Request for Proposal, and this should inspire you to be creative in your approach to tackling this competition. 

This page is a constant work in progress as volunteers find time to fill in their opinions on each design, but even just the videos themselves, particularly those with 2 videos showing design progression, should be of great help to competitors!
