Copenhagen Design Studio Saga has completed four-bedroom astronaut training facility European Space Agency It will be used to train American and European space professionals for residence Moon,
Flexheb The structure was recently installed Luna analog facility (Luna) In Cologne, Germany, there is a feature created by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) that includes an entertainment of the moon surface for research. NASA’s Artemis MissionThe purpose of which is to make the moon hospitality.
As StoryAmerican and European astronauts will live in pod for several weeks to follow the moon on the moon, demonstrating “Moon Walk” in Luna.
Its linear floor plan organized, 28-meters-Square Flexheb has a sleeping unit, an entrance and airlock area with four cot areas which also have a bathroom, A labAnd a kitchen and living area, or galli.
The bunk area is located with one end of the residence and has four, sealed “sleeping cabins”. Each unit has personal storage and personal light control for ventilation along with its inhabitants.
Nearby, an entrance area is surrounded by solid walls, which is to simulate the airlock system used to enter the housing and exit. The area also doubles as a “hygiene room” and has a toilet and shower.
Surfaces in the area are washedeable sprays, to adjust both washrooms and prevent contamination when entering the habitat.
A task or laboratory area is located in the center of the structure, with individual desks dedicated to each crew member. A Cork material Lines the wall while 3D-crushed Sofits walk with the roof to hide lighting.
A kitchen and dining area, or galli, is located at the end of the residence. Designed to double the crew as a lounge and workout area, the central dining table is stoveable, and the workout equipment is stored in cabinets.
A large screen located along the wall simulates a “window” and displays a video of the surface of the space or the moon.
On its exterior, the structure is wrapped in a 3D-crushed skeletal shell that displays the full scale of the habitat when installed on the moon, including the thickness of bulkheds and other structural elements.
The saga constructed and constructed the structure in its studio CopenhagenConverting a pre -shipping container into housing in the form of standard dimensions provides a accessible conversion that can be distributed into the space.
Co-founder Sebstian aristotelisESA requested over 100 functional requirements for the structure, although considering four elements when designing the housing was most important: layouts and volumes, lighting, material selection and airflow and ventilation.
The structure was to be efficiently designed to include its program, while a classification of materials, such as cork and vegetarian suede, was chosen to provide astronauts with visual and touch stimulation for psychological welfare.
Ventilation and airflow were adapted to provide a comfortable environment, and most importantly the saga created a lighting system that mimics the 24 -hour passage of the Sun.
The studio said, “One of the biggest challenges for goodness in space is lack of sleep.” “The most frequently consumed drug on ISS is a sleeping medicine.”
“During the day, the intensity of spectrum and light will change automatically (and gradually) to follow the outdoor lighting and to combat the negative effects of separation from nature.”
Other projects that are part of the Artemis Mission include A hard drive designed by Big It was recently launched for the Moon and 50 meter long “solar energy tower” by foster + partners This will collect solar energy for infrastructure in space.
