About Project Eagle: A 3D Interactive Mars Base
✦ AI summary
Explore a scientifically accurate Mars colony nestled in Gale Crater, built in collaboration with NASA using real terrain data and informed by actual engineering constraints. Walk through a potential future human settlement on the red planet and discover what it might take to establish our first foothold beyond Earth.
Project Eagle is an interactive model of a Mars colony in Gale Crater at the base of Mount Sharp, near the original landing site of the Mars Curiosity Rover. The project came to fruition after Blackbird Interactive Inc. was contacted by members of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to create a demo of a possible base on Mars.
Eagle isn't a game, but a tool to allow users to explore and learn about a potential future Mars colony. Eagle base is grounded in real possibilities, informed by real science with direct guidance and feedback from NASA and JPL scientists about the technological and material constraints for building human habitation on the red planet. Project Eagle is built in Unity using terrain data from the HiRise camera aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, and is accurate to one meter.
The project was initially demonstrated live onstage at the 2017 D.I.C.E. Summit by NASA’s Dr. Jeff Norris, and BBI’s CEO Rob Cunningham and CCO Aaron Kambeitz.

At 74 and retired, MSFS keeps me mentally attached to my expire FAA Commercial Pilot certificate. Almost like riding a bike, it makes me feel like I could really take off and land, if I had to.5 found this helpful
"Mars is there, waiting to be reached."
It looks good at the beginning but it lacks content. This is just kind of map with nothing to see. A demo of what??? Where is the science or planning? It has a launcher an energy... well that can be thought by a nice child easily. The only good thing is that this is free. This looks like more a school project than a software footage or videogame or whatever it is. Nothing can be touched or explored it is just a view.
Really relaxing exploration game
Игра «Project Eagle: A 3D Interactive Mars Base» — увлекательный симулятор строительства колонии на Марсе. Геймплей сочетает стратегию и выживание: игрок управляет ресурсами, строит базу, исследует планету и борется с экстремальными условиями. Реалистичная 3D-графика и динамичная физика делают каждый шаг значимым — от добычи руды до защиты от штормов. Особенность — интерактивная среда: действия влияют на экосистему и развитие колонии. Плюсы: глубокая система управления, атмосфера исследования. Минусы: сложность для новичков и ограниченный сюжет. Идеально для фанатов научных симуляторов.
Worth a quick download, it's a fairly detailed, non-interactive Martian base that looks to have some scientific input around design and what components are there. You can see the bare bones potential of this having been planned as some sort of base construction and simulator game, but they rightly abandoned and decided to release what they had done as a free demo. It's interesting, I like the Martian sunset, but really it's no more than a 10min look around for people who like space.
