NASA reveals the houses it plans to build on Mars

NASA hopes to launch its first manned mission to Mars by the end of the next decade, because of the average distance between Earth and the red planet that is located in the 225 million kilometers, astronauts must build a station to live on the surface of Mars, for this reason, the US agency has shown the five final prototypes of houses that it plans to use for this purpose.

The selected projects that participated in the 3D Printed Centennial Habitat Challenge ("Centennial Challenge of 3D Printed Habitats") were broadcast through a shared video on the social networks of Canada. # 39; space agency, where It details that the candidates have proposed different models of sustainable space housing with the help of new technologies and able to be set up as accommodation with l & 39; use of indigenous resources.

According to RT, the contest winners are the team from the Arkansas Designers team, Zopherus of Rogers, with a project that included the use of a Mobile 3D printer that would deploy astromobiles to collect the local resources needed to print the future home.

"A giant printer would create the appropriate environment to begin the housing construction process, protecting the printing process from weather conditions," the statement said.

According to Monsi Roman, administrator of the contest program, the results: "They do not only design structures, they design habitats that will allow our space explorers to live and work on other planets. pleased to see how their ideas become reality as the competition continues. "

The five winning teams will share a prize of $ 100,000, money that will help them continue their research.
