Embry-Riddle’s Mobile Space Habitat Featured on America Space

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Mobile Space Habitat at the Daytona Beach Campus was profiled in an America Space story titled “Embry-Riddle Mobile Space Habitat Enables Students to Conduct Research and Experiments in Extreme Environments.”

An excerpt of the story is copied below.

A student-run project at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), in Daytona Beach, is in the early stages of becoming an advanced space habitat simulator and mobile laboratory designed to study human behavior and new space technologies in extreme environments. Made out of a 31-foot 1976 Airstream trailer, Mobile Extreme Environment Research Station (MEERS) will serve as a testbed that will enable students and faculty to test their experiments and study human factors in a simulated environment similar to Mars and other planets. Important engineering research focused on habitat design will take place on MEERS and evaluate the issues humans may encounter in isolation and confinement.
