M.A.R.S. Tesseract-1 is an astronaut training facility being developed by Offworld.Voyage, designed for use in Mars surface analog simulations - consisting of modular interconnected living structures including an enclosed green-hab science lab, fab lab and flow space.

Research activities will include: • EVAs utilizing sim-spacesuits embedded with biosensors • On site cultivation of nutrient dense foods • Experiments in development of open source decentralized communications and coordination tools and protocols • Mission Support / Mission Control training • Geological analysis and mapping • Off-grid and autonomous power production • Exercises in extreme reduction of resource consumption • Coordinated decision making and collective action • Water purification and re-use • Composting and re-processing of organic waste • Creative on-site repair and recycling of all materials

The inaugural mission is currently scheduled to occur in an isolated and remote desert location in late 2025.

The project is co-founded by Mars Desert Research Station alumni Scott Beibin and Elizabeth Jane Cole.
