NASA’s first simulated Mars surface habitat, called the Mars Dune Alpha, was 3D printed by advanced construction technologies firm ICON for its Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog (CHAPEA). ICON 3D-printed the 1,700 square feet habitat with lavacrete. The habitat features four private crew quarters, dedicated workstations, dedicated medical station and common lounge areas.
