Homebuilders and owners benefit from software created to design Mars missions. The program tracks the cost and energy efficiency of materials used in roofs, walls, furnaces, and more, laying out choices for builders that optimize the project. Users save thousands of dollars on a typical home's cost while making it up to 40 percent more energy efficient.
Designing a trip to Mars presents mission planners with a dizzying number of options regarding the technologies and mateials they can choose from. In order to simplify decision-making processes, NASA funded the development of software to optimize mission architecture design.
