The Space Resources Environmental Analogue Facility aims to allow researchers to test equipment in realistic Moon/ Mars/ asteroid conditions. It will allow the development of space robotics and techniques to process space rocks. A dirty thermal vacuum chamber replicates temperatures and pressures on deep space objects, while not having the ultra-clean requirement of a more usual spacecraft facility. Moon/ Mars/ asteroid yards simulate the surfaces of those objects. Technologies proven in the new facilities will be qualified to operate on the moon, for example, enabling participation in the space agency’s Moon to Mars program.

空间资源环境模拟设施旨在使研究人员能够在真实的月球/火星/小行星条件下测试设备。它将使空间机器人技术和技术的发展，以处理太空岩石。一个肮脏的热真空室复制了深空物体上的温度和压力，同时没有更常见的航天器设施的超清洁要求。月球/火星/小行星场模拟这些物体的表面。在新设施中得到验证的技术将有资格在月球上运行，例如，能够参与航天局的月球到火星计划。
