Using a Planetary Analog To Test a Prototype Inflated Habitat for NASA, SpaceRef

“I had a chance to visit the manufacturing facilities at ILC Dover in Frederica, Delaware last week to see the new inflatable habitat that they have developed. Together, NASA, ILC Dover, and NSF will put this habitat through a one-year test at McMurdo Station in Antarctica starting in January 2008. How this team came to chose this design – and develop it to this point of development – reaches back decades for its inspiration – also uses cutting edge technology to bring it to reality.”
