Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
So the BHB lab was called upon, and then we went over to our human factors engineering colleagues, which is Ian Robertson, I mentioned before, and we put together this set of measures to really look at different aspects of the habitat, and so we can think about the psychological impact that happens. Then we went and looked at the habitat itself to sort of familiarize ourselves. And it’s really cool. It’s this 3D-printed, you know, habitat from ICON Architecture. It’s 1,700-square feet, so it’s a good size. And the space architecture group and all these other experts weighed in on the design of it. So there’s this, you know, private crew quarters and you have the galley kitchen space and you have private areas for the crew to be in. You also have areas and lounge areas, and you have work rooms and bathrooms, et cetera. So it has all the things that you need to really survive for a whole year. And then the designers really use their expert knowledge, but we don’t really have like this agreed upon design for a Mars mission yet. So part of what we’re trying to do is like put down something that’s concrete that exists, and then we can test people in this specific environment. So we’re going to get a lot of knowledge out of this study, and then we could feed back all of that information to these spec space architecture groups, right?  And then we can talk about how to inform the future Mars design.
The other cool thing I always want to tell people about is this 1,200-square-foot sandbox that mimics the Mars surface. And the crews go out and do these EVAs on the Martian surface. They also have virtual reality EVAs that they’re doing, and they can simulate going through the air lock and they put on their suits, and then there’s dust mitigation. So all of this is affecting how they’re experiencing the habitat. So we’re thinking about how all of these issues are going to impact the crew, impact the team, and impact their stress levels living in this habitat.

From Struggling in School to ‘Killing It at NASA,’ a VR Dream Come True - Meet JPL Interns | NASA/JPL Edu
[Michelle quickly scans through the photo library on her phone and pulls up a video she recorded from JPL’s In-Situ Instruments Laboratory. Pranay Mishra, a testbed engineer for the InSight mission, stands in a simulated Mars landscape next to a working model of the lander and explains:]“When InSight reaches Mars, we're going to get images of the terrain that we land on. The instruments will be deployed to that terrain, so we will want to practice those deployments in the testbed. One of the biggest things that affects our deployment ability is the terrain. If the terrain is tilted or there are rocks in certain spots, that all has a strong effect on our deployment accuracy. To practice it here, we want the terrain in the testbed to match the terrain on Mars. The only things we can view from Mars are the images that we get back [from the lander]. We want to put those into the HoloLens so that we can start terraforming, or “marsforming,” the testbed terrain to match the terrain on Mars. That way, we can maybe get a rough idea of what the deployment would look like on Mars by practicing it on Earth.”› Learn more about how scientists and engineers are creating a version of InSight's Mars landing site on Earth Michelle Vo stands in the InSight testbed at JPL with testbed engineers Drew Penrod (left) and Pranay Mishra (right). Image courtesy Michelle Vo | + Expand imageThey already gave us photos of Mars, which they turned into a 3D model. I created an AR project, where you look through the HoloLens – looking at the real world – and the 3D model is superimposed on the testbed. So the [testbed team] will shovel through and shape the terrain to match what it’s like on Mars, at InSight’s landing site.Did you know that this was an area that you could work in at JPL before interning here?OnSight was a well known project in the VR/AR space, since it was the first project to use the Microsoft Hololens.

And the crews go out and do these EVAs on the Martian surface. They also have virtual reality EVAs that they’re doing, and they can simulate going through the air lock and they put on their suits, and then there’s dust mitigation. So all of this is affecting how they’re experiencing the habitat. So we’re thinking about how all of these issues are going to impact the crew, impact the team, and impact their stress levels living in this habitat.

Host: Yeah, there’s a lot that you’re looking at. And so let’s go a little bit into that, right? When it comes to designing a habitat, when it comes to looking at a space, knowing that these folks are going to be in a space, you’re looking at, maybe, you know, how there’s this nice combination of behavioral studies versus the actual architecture of the habitat itself. So things like, you know, private quarters. How big should a habitat be for folks to be comfortable? What are the communal areas like? So give me a sense of the perspective that you are taking. When you look at habitability, when you look at design, what are the main factors that you’re looking at?
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Yeah, there’s been previous research in this area kind of looking at what’s needed for a Mars mission. So several years ago, this group of really amazing experts in this area came together and they decided that individual needs about 25 cubic meters of space to kind of support their psychological wellbeing. And then we also hear from the astronauts, we hear from other experts that privacy is really important for psychological wellbeing. So there’s some things that we do know, and that’s kind of where we can start. And then there’s also the functional spaces that we need on board. So we have, you know, for example, an area that will allow teams to work together on a team task, right? And we have documentation of all this. This is a NASA Standards 3001.
