The greenhouse consists of two main parts:

  • the external part (covers and PVPs)
  • the internal part (main body)

The volume of the greenhouse, before deployment and during the (Mars) night is around one cubic meter. The thickness of the greenhouse cover is 100mm. There is also 50mm space between the cover and the main body for storing the PVPs.

During the day, when the covers open and the PVPs are deployed, the greenhouse occupies a circle area of around 1.5 meters radius.

The main body of the greenhouse consists of:

  • cylindrical part of 600mm height, 500mm radius and 50mm thickness made of carbon fiber. This is where the majority of the mechanical parts and growing materials are stored.
  • hemispherical part of 500mm radius and 6mm thickness placed on top of the cylindrical part. It is made of optium acrylic material, which is anti-reflective and UV resistant.
