NASA's New Research REVEALS Way We Can Live On The Moon..
Welcome back to Curiosity Central. SOM's inflatable habitats could allow people to "thrive over the long term" on the Moon. Architecture studio SOM and the European Space Agency have created more visuals for Moon Village, a concept for a settlement on the moon made up of inflatable modules. SOM presented a detailed scale model of Moon Village, which it first announced in 2019, as part of its exhibition Life Beyond Earth at this year's Venice Architecture Biennale.
The proposal is for a collection of individual four-level units located in the moon's south polar region that would provide hubs for scientific research.
The units are designed to be inflatable. SOM said that Moon Village could grow over time, evolving from a settlement for research into thriving communities offering wider opportunities such as tourism. "For SOM, designing a Moon Village meant creating an environment in which humans will be able to thrive over the long term," senior designer Daniel Inocente told Dezeen. "This is human-centric design." Life Beyond Earth is on show at the Venice Architecture Biennale. The modules are designed to be inflatable so that they could be compressed and transported to the moon by rocket, where they would be expanded to full size. Each of the units would be built around a hybrid structural design that would include a rigid titanium alloy perimeter frame and a soft structural shell. A scale model and site plan are included in the installation. This shell would feature a layer to protect from micrometeorites and a layer made of open-foam polyurethane and double-aluminised Mylar for insulation. "Unlike other inflatable designs, which place structural mechanical systems at their centre, this solution creates an open interior that allows for optimised environmental conditions, air distribution and recycling, as well as visibility, efficiency and mobility," said SOM associate director Georgi Petrov. The units would have four levels. The habitats would be located in the south polar region because it gets a lot of daylight throughout the lunar year, which would allow the units to harness sunlight for energy. "Its location was also chosen in part to enable access to undisturbed material from the early history of the Solar System," SOM design partner Colin Koop told Dezeen. "Material that will help scientists better understand the formation of our world."
