Envihab is a medical research facility of the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where the effects of diverse environmental conditions on humans are analyzed and explored, along with possible countermeasures. Its name combines the words environment and habitat, and its concept addresses complex problems of a life support system and the interaction between humans and their environment from a medical, biological and psychological point of view, with a focus on human health and performance. Its modular house in house design allows different units and technical equipment to be used without leaving the building, and it can permanently expose twelve test subjects to equal and controlled environmental conditions across roughly 3,500 square meters of floor space.
