6 teams share honors and money in NASA's 2nd 3-D Print a Habitat challengeHuntsville AL (SPX) Jul 10, 2017 ASA has awarded a total of $201,023 to teams of citizen inventors that have reached the latest milestone of NASA's 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, completing the Phase 2: Level 2 Beam Member competition. The teams are working to find ways to 3-D print habitation structures using recyclables and simulated Martian soil, a technology goal that could support deep space exploration and advance construction capabilities on Earth. For this level, which is the second of three sub-competitions within Phase 2 ... read more |
