The NASA EVA Pod is designed to autonomously collect environmental data over several weeks, providing comprehensive background information. This data is then used with data from the NASA STELLA Module, a hand-held device used to capture key environmental measurements during field visits, allowing for detailed data comparison and comprehensive analysis of the environment. The EVA Pod has two modules associated with it, the EVA itself as well as the MOSS (Mushroom Off-gassing Soil Sensor). The EVA measures temperature, humidity, CO2, and light, while the mushroom measures soil properties and off-gassing. The EVA Pod also has a website interface where data can be uploaded and displayed to compare with the NASA STELLA Module data. The website utilizes Google Maps API, and users can see community EVA pod locations on the map to see local environmental data.
