First experiment with a 1:12 scale mock up of the inflatable Mars habitat.

To simulate the real proportion of inner pressure force against the weight of the deposit, that needs to be lift4ed during inflation, the air pressure needs to be scaled down by 1:12 as well.

But since the gravity on Earth is 2,5 times higher it needs to be multiplied with 2,5 as well.

This results in a final pressure of 100mbar, while the real scale habitat on Mars should be inflated with 500mbar
