PneumoPlanet, Inflatable Moon Habitat with greenhouse, funded by ESA (Open Space Innovation Platform)

This novel and maybe even disruptive lunar habitat design for the polar regions is based on a study funded by ESA´s ( European Space Agency) OSIP program. Instead of building or printing a base on the Moon, Astronauts rather could inflate their habitat. The ultralight prefabricated inflatable structure covered with several meters of loose regolith for protection from micrometeorites and cosmic radiation. A mirror that rotates towards the sun reflects the useful spectrum of natural sunlight into a greenhouse for self-sufficient production of food and oxygen. The structure is modular. Several modules can form a large Moonbase or even Moon village also find information on : Authors: Thomas Herzig: Architect specialized in inflatable structures Gabor Bihari: Physicist Norbert Kömle: Astrophysicist Also view our MARS HABITAT video, that was the predecessor of this design :
