The Habitat is a Mars analog site purpose-built for mission simulation. Originally developed as part of the D-MARS program, it has hosted multiple analog astronaut missions including AMADEE-20, where an international crew of scientists lived in isolation for three weeks to test protocols, technologies, and team dynamics in Mars-like conditions.​
​
Designed by space architect and Creation-Space co-founder Alon Shikar, the structure offers a high-fidelity environment for simulating long-duration missions in the Mars-like terrain of Mitzpe Ramon. It serves as a launchpad for researchers, agencies, and private teams preparing for life beyond Earth.​
