Project Eagle

Project Eagle is an interactive model of a potential Mars colony in Gale Crater, at the base of Mount Sharp near the Mars Curiosity Rover’s original landing site. You can explore the model and learn about a possible future colony; it is a tool, not a game.

The proposed base reflects real scientific and technological possibilities for building human habitation on Mars. NASA and JPL scientists provided guidance and feedback on the technological and material constraints. The model uses terrain data from the HiRise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and is accurate to one meter.
