The shelter cost $US1800 (over $US15,000 adjusted for inflation) and contained four drop-down beds, a chemical toilet, and an air exchange device that was operated by hand-crank.

The entire thing was brought to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC during the mid-90s, where it was on display from 1994 until 2011. [Smithsonian Magazine]
