The Mobile Extreme Environment Research Station (MEERS) at the Daytona Beach Campus is a student-run project to design and build a mobile laboratory and space habitat simulator out of a 31-foot 1976 Airstream trailer for the purpose of testing and advancing space technologies. It will allow for the study of human behaviors and performance in extreme environments, such as Mars.
MEERS needs funds to finish construction of the mobile laboratory. When complete, MEERS will provide crew quarters for four individuals, a galley, hygiene facilities, and workstations to facilitate data collection, science, and communication with a MEERS Mission Control Center (MCC) on the university campus. We have already installed a solar panel and battery system to power MEERS and now must finish all renovations.
