A unique three-story habitat designed to serve as an analog for isolation, confinement, and remote conditions in exploration scenarios. Analog studies determine how isolation and confined habitation associated with long duration missions impact the individuals and the team.

Studies suitable for this analog include behavioral health and performance assessments, communication and autonomy studies, human factors evaluations, and medical capabilities assessments.

✓ Ground-based analog studies can be completed faster than in flight

✓ Cost of research on earth is less than spaceflight research
