TechTimes : Could it be that the first Martian house will be built from ice?
The Red Planet has an abundance of water ice, making the Mars Ice House – awarded first prize in the 3D-Printed Mars Habitat Challenge of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) – a viable picture of future habitat on the planet.
The design competition sought entries for a 3D-printed habitat for deep space exploration, including NASA’s journey to Mars. Part of NASA’s Centennial Challenges program, the competition is designed to promote additive construction technology for sustainable housing on Earth and beyond.
Mars Ice House, designed by Clouds Architecture Office and Space Exploration Architecture (SEArch), is a sleek series of nested ice shells aiming to utilize Mars’ liquid water and low temperatures to erect a “multi-layered pressurized radiation shell of ice.”
