<h3>Best Applied Design Special Prize</h3>
 
−
 
−
<p>This is a prize for the team that has developed a synbio product to solve a real world problem in the most elegant way. The students will have considered how well the product addresses the problem versus other potential solutions, how the product integrates or disrupts other products and processes, and how its lifecycle can more broadly impact our lives and environments in positive and negative ways.

Applied Design

The primary problems with martian habitat development are the cost of sending materials up to mars–it costs approximately $2.78 million dollars to send a single kilogram of material up to space [1]–and access to new materials when in space.

Proposed 3D Printed Design crafted from a composite from Mars. [2]

Proposed 3D Printed Design crafted from a Martian Ice. [3]

Current ideas that are being explore by NASA involve sending large 3D printers up to Mars that will print with materials sourced from Mars. More specific examples include a composite material made from martian regolith, or using ice found on planet [2, 3]. However, as we interviewed Dr. Michael Meyer, the lead Scientist of NASA’s Mars exploration program, it was highlighted that there are number of issues with these designs. Issues range from designing reliable material from components sourced from Mars to the cost of sending up such a large 3D printer (both in the production of such a large printer, as well as the actual cost per kilogram). Additionally, the materials sourced from Mars would most likely need to be supplemented with binders brought from earth, and could not be applied to interior design elements.
