Members of the Penn State Den@Mars team, from University Park, Pa., look at their 3D-printed dome structure after it was strength tested on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017 at Caterpillar, Inc.'s Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Ill. Team members are Sven Bilen, Ali Memari, Nick Meisel, Aleksandra Radlinska and team lead Shadi Nazarian. NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge is advancing the additive construction technology needed to create sustainable housing for deep space exploration.

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 and evaluated, and teams will be awarded prize money for successful completion of competition objectives.
