The 3500 sq m :envihab building in Cologne is near ESA’s European Astronaut Centre on the research campus of DLR German Aerospace Center in Cologne, Germany. It houses specialised laboratories for studying the effects of extreme environmental conditions on humans.

Eight modules, built as a ‘house-within-a-house’, include a short-arm centrifuge that can be used for cardiovascular, bone and muscle research. There are also laboratories for studying the effects of reduced oxygen and pressure on humans, MRI facilities, rooms for psychological stress simulation and rehabilitation, and microbiological and molecular biological research tools, as well as places to house and monitor test subjects.
