    A low light level camera inside the bell jar facility took this photograph during a test at Martian surface pressures and temperature. In the center is a small dewar of water being held at just above freezing. Water vapor from this pool quickly freezes on surrounding equipment. These features closely resemble what is seen in terrestrial Rodriguez wells, improving confidence in the experiment design.

    ERDC supports NASA’s mission to Mars

    In the 1960s during the Cold War, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Cold Region Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) designed a device, commonly referred to as a Rodriguez well, or Rodwell, to harvest water under the ice in Greenland and Antarctica to sustain U.S. facilities by providing water for drinking, hygiene and other needs. Presently, NASA is working with CRREL to assess whether that same technology can provide water for human-inhabited research stations on Mars.
