![]() A weather simulator that uses solar panels and built-in speakers to recreate varying weather patterns, like storms, rain, and a sunny day, helps alleviate the weariness of conducting repetitive tasks and looking at the same environment for extended amounts of time. Though the physical comforts are impressive, even more so are the features dedicated to the astronauts' psychological well-being. Lunark's origami-inspired design makes it easy to transport to space (Credit: SAGA Space Architects) 328 solar panels on the frame help recharge the battery, ensuring uninterrupted power, while an airtight flexible seam protects residents from temperatures as low as -49° F (-45° C) and wind speeds of up to 55 miles an hour. Once the astronauts reach their destination, they can easily unfold the 607-cubic-foot mobile home, which is fitted with a bathroom, living quarters with built-in desks and shelving, and two soundproofed crew cabins. The origami-inspired Lunark, designed by Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen of SAGA Space Architects, comprises a sturdy, but lightweight, aluminum frame that can be efficiently compressed for transport to the Moon. To provide the pioneering scientists - and future space travelers - with a comfortable shelter, two enterprising Dutch architects have built a habitat capable of withstanding the Moon's harsh conditions. ![]() NASA's Artemis program not only hopes to land the next man and the first woman on the lunar south pole by 2024 it also expects them to spend up to seven days in the inhospitable environment, collecting samples and conducting experiments. Corticeira Amorim, Kvadrat, Lenovo, and BACKLUND ECOLOGY also played a role in the creation of this habitat.The futuristic Lunark habitat is designed to provide future space travelers with a comfortable home (Credit SAGA Space Architects) In addition to these companies, Bosch provided tools, Armacell provided the insulation, Submaterial collaborated on the interior storage wall, And Bygkontrol Konstruktører & Ingeniører ApS provided engineering support and structural documentation. The ability to see the project through to completion was thanks to a collaborative effort between many different companies, including the Camozzi Group (bringing together Innse-Berardi and Ingersoll Machine Tools with a focus on providing large-format additive and subtractive advanced manufacturing solutions to aerospace, defense, energy, and all heavy industrial sectors), and Guzman Polymers (providing and developing the composite material). The design has also prioritized psychological and physical well-being, as “our astronauts must thrive not just survive.” SAGA Space Architects’ LUNARK Moon Habitat Analog The design has been algorithmically optimized, resulting in a measured expansion of 750%. The structure is deployable, to save space during transport as well as maximize the space for the astronauts. ![]() Fast turnaround, low cost, comprehensive optimized strategy… FacFox is your one-stop partner for product manufacturing!Īnother design from SAGA Space Architects that predates their recently-created analog habit is their LUNARK Moon Habitat. ![]()
