The Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) is the largest and longest-running Mars surface research facility and is one of two simulated Mars analog habitats owned and operated by the Mars Society.[1]
The MDRS station was built in the early 2000s near Hanksville, Utah, in the western United States.[2] It is crewed by small teams who conduct scientific research.[3]
The MDRS campus includes a two-story habitat with a greenhouse, a solar and a robotic observatory, an engineering pod and a science building.
