High-Level Project Summary
Nowadays, our world is in a stage of radical changes and constant innovation, while man’s curiosity about space is growing stronger every day. The technological progress available at the moment allows us to design prototypes, and propose ideas over what could become in the future, or even better, to make this future our present. Our project is based on creating 3D designs that serve as essential tools and furniture for a one year mission to Mars. It is important to emphasise that these tools are designed based on the demands of the planet's needs. Our goal is to make an efficient elaboration process with the correct organization and storage of our materials.

Detailed Project Description
To resolve the matter, Outfitting a Mars Habitat, we’ve developed our own prototype: the Mighty Comets Experience (MCE), a multifunctional living space; along with complementary pieces to improve the quality of this space. This prototype’s objective is fulfilling several needs while optimizing space usage and minimizing material waste.
Space Agency Data
- 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.
- NASA Media Resources
- 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.
Hackathon Journey
It has been an amazing and exciting experience. Working with friends on an application proyect has given us a wider view about developing and creating an idea. We choose this challenge because our team is formed by mechatronic engineers and we thought it will be interesting to apply the knowledge we have been acquiring the last couples of weeks at our classes. However, at the beggining we find it difficult to find a solution but thanks to brainstorming and communication between each member of the group we could develope a functional idea. The next step was desing the prototype and we did it working as a team and having in consideration the mechatronic engineers. Without doubts, Space Apps is one of the most demanding but interesting proyects we've been part of.
