Feb 10, 2023 · The new study suggests the habitat be located near one of the lunar poles, where sunlight is more plentiful given the moon's extremely slight axial tilt. Ideally, PneumoPlanet would be set up ...
Jun 4, 2021 · A detailed concept for a lunar habitat, created by one of the world’s leading architectural firms with ESA technical support, is currently on show at the Biennale in Venice. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, originator of many of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, worked with ESA on a semi-inflatable habitat design which could be part of a long-term vision for an international Moon settlement.
Jan 13, 2024 · A recent paper by three aerospace engineers provides the first details on the interior of the Foundation Surface Habitat, which will become humanity’s first permanent home on the Moon. NASA has identified 13 candidate landing regions near the lunar South Pole for the Artemis 3 mission. Credit: NASA.
