View of the regolith bin where researchers are testing the NDX-1 spacesuit inside the SwampWorks to simulate the surface of Mars at the Kennedy Space Center December 12, 2015 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The team is analyzing the prototype suit's ability to protect astronauts while allowing them the flexibility to dig samples and perform other tasks in regolith, a fine, powdery soil similar to that found on Mars.
