GeoLab is a geological laboratory and test bed designed for conducting geoscience activities during NASA's analog missions. Scientists at NASA's Johnson Space Center built GeoLab as part of a technology project to aid the development of science operational concepts and to test a variety of analytical tools that could be developed for future planetary surface missions. It is integrated into NASA's Deep Space Habitat (DSH), an exploration habitat test article (Figure 2). As a prototype workstation, GeoLab provides a high fidelity facility for analog mission crewmembers to perform preliminary examination and characterization of geologic samples and communicate their findings to supporting scientists.
