NASA is building a mocked-up deep-space habitat in Texas

by Laura Domela

When it’s done, the concept for a ship that’ll take astronauts to deep space won’t look like much. Actually, it kind of sounds like a mess: the “Deep Space Habitat” is being cobbled together from scrap parts of the International Space Station, and even a museum mockup. Obviously, it’s not going to send anyone to deep space. But it does give us a tantalizing look at what it’ll look [like] when NASA does take the next steps in space travel.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
