HI-SEAS Analog Mars Habitat - Martian Dome
thingiverse
Print your very own Martian habitat! HI-SEAS (Hawai’i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation) is a long duration analog Mars mission that helps scientists understand how crew members interact when living and working together during long isolated missions like the ones going to Mars, as well as how to select crew members for such missions. HI-SEAS.org shows how this project works. I'm a crew member of Mission III which began October 15, 2014 and will end June 13, 2015. The main goal of this mission is to understand how people interact when they are living together in isolated areas without any live contact with the outside world for long periods. We have to eat shelf stable food because there is no fresh supply available and we wear simulated space suits whenever we go out of the habitat. In addition to this study, we also do some extra research that involves psychology, group dynamics or both. These studies usually involve tasks, games and filling out surveys about our mood and interactions with other crew members. We have around 40 tasks per week for these six studies. On top of those, we all have our own individual research areas as well. I’m working on a project to see how useful 3D printing is in Mars missions and isolated environments. For more information you can check out my blog at https://www.almostmars.com Some other crew members’ research projects and blogs are: Martha is studying indoor gardening, check her out here - https://martianadventures.wordpress.com/ Jocelyn is researching how stress levels change when exercise, sleep and eating habits differ.

It was created by building a dome that's supplied by Pacific Domes International and was designed with internal two-story structure. The ground floor includes kitchen, dining area, bathroom, lab, exercise room, and common spaces for crew members. There are also six separate bedrooms located on the second floor. A 160 square foot workshop built from an old shipping container is connected to the main habitat. Instructions: You can scale your Martian habitat to any size you like! If I print at a 1:200 ratio, it should give me accurate results, but I could have chosen another number as well. As for settings on my Up Mini, I was printing with a .25mm layer height using default settings and making sure to add support for areas less than 30 degrees in order to avoid any print failures.
