An evaluation of an advanced habitat system designed to transport crews between the Earth and Mars has been conducted. This new and innovative habitat concept is capable of placing crew members in inactive, torpor states during transit phases of a deep space mission. This substantially reduces the mass and size of the habitat, which ultimately leads to significant reductions in the overall architecture size. Additionally, numerous potential crew health impacts have been identified that may reduce the effects of common long-duration spaceflight challenges.
