Members of the Foster+Partners | Branch Technology team from Chattanooga, Tenn., celebrate after their 3D-printed dome structure successfully held 50 kilograms in order to qualify for final testing, Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017 at Caterpillar, Inc.'s Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Ill. NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is advancing the additive construction technology needed to create sustainable housing for deep space exploration. Teams are competing in Phase 2: Level 3, for $500,000 in prize money. Teams have to 3D-print structural habitat pieces that will be crush-tested
