Before we send humans to #Mars to work and stay, we'll need to develop the proper materials for potential #habitat use. To this end, Clouds Architecture Office (Clouds AO), Space Exploration Architecture (SEArch), and @nasa_langley have designed the #marsicehome. http://www.cloudsao.com/MARS-ICE-HOME When launched to the @iss in November 2018 as part of the MISSE-11 mission, materials for the habitat’s wall assembly will be flight tested throughout 2018-2019, where material samples will be mounted on the station’s exterior to see how they respond to prolonged exposure to the environment of #space, after which they will be meticulously studied upon their return to Earth.
