NASA is organizing a home design competition on Mars in 3D printing

NASA has set a goal, and the US Aerospace Agency has selected five winners of the final phase of the 3D Habitat Challenge printing competition to design 3D printing houses for upcoming astronauts. red crystal.

Perhaps by the end of 2030, we will have houses on Mars.

Previously, 18 participating teams were tasked with designing a virtual model of 3D printing houses on Mars. They are encouraged to use reusable materials and 'native resources' (basically rocks on Mars) to keep the planet from becoming a "landfill" like many places on the left. Land today. Each of the five winning teams is awarded a prize of about $ 20,000.

NASA's idea is to bring robots to Mars to automatically print living spaces for astronauts once they come here. The winning design includes a garden to grow plants that provide food and oxygen, a curved roof earthquake case and a spherical house with an entertainment room on the top floor.

When asked when we will have 3D printing houses on other planets, NASA's Centennial Challenges Project Manager, said, "Perhaps around the end of 2030". She added that we would probably see one of those houses on the moon first.

NASA hopes the competition will boost 3D printing technology in the construction field on Earth. The next phase of the competition will focus on building real robots to handle the automatic printing of part of the design. The final winner, passing the final round will win $ 2 million in prize money.
