Example Resources
- ARC 3D Models Database
A dataset that includes a simplified design of a rover wheel (M2020_WHEEL_DESKTOP_MODEL-5inch) as well as many other models including some basic tools.
- Deep Space Habitability Design Guidelines Based on the NASA NextSTEP Phase 2 Ground Test Program
An article about work that NASA’s partners have done in designing habitats that might get you thinking about what kind of rooms early explorers will live in.
- NASA Analog Missions
Information on analog habitats that reproduce space travel conditions on Earth to help learn about what we need to live in space.
- NASA CHAPEA
Information on analog habitats that reproduce space travel conditions on Earth to help learn about what we need to live in space.

Other Example Resources
- Project Olympus: Off-World Additive Construction for Lunar Surface Infrastructure
An article about work that NASA’s partners have done in designing habitats that might get you thinking about what kind of rooms early explorers will live in.
- Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium (LSIC) Excavation & Construction Workshop - NASA Excavation & Construction Roadmap
A presentation on habitat outfitting made by Mark Hilburger at the Lunar Surface Innovation Consortium. This presentation only discusses outfitting near the end, but it’s interesting to learn about the kinds of things we need to do before we can build a habitat
- NIST Additive Manufacturing
Technical information on additive manufacturing. Includes materials databases and manufacturing test artifact design
Canadian Space Agency (CSA)
- Martian weather, Meteorological Station (MET) of the Phoenix Mission
This Martian weather dataset will help you better understand and plan for the environmental conditions on Mars.
- 3D CSA Mars Emulation Terrain dataset
These 3D scans of the CSA’s Mars Emulation Terrain in Saint-Hubert, QC could help you better understand the terrain that your creations will need to contend with.
