SIMOC and SAM

SIMOC is a hi-fidelity model and web interface to a simulation of a human habitat on Mars. Users are invited to design a habitat that sustains human life through a combination of physico-chemical (mechanical) and bioregenerative (living plant) systems, selecting various combinations of crew quarters, greenhouse, food and plants, energy generation and storage, and mission duration.

SAM is a Space Analog for the Moon and Mars. This hi-fidelity, hermetically sealed research center is composed of a crew quarters, airlock and hub, and greenhouse with temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide level controls. Designed in concert with senior staff at Biosphere 2, the University of Arizona’s Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, Paragon Space Development Corporation, and NASA, SAM is a return to the origin of the iconic Biosphere 2 and a look to the future as we prepare to become an interplanetary species. At SAM you are a part of this next, great adventure.
