The duo lived on coffee, cold protein shakes, hot soup (from powdered ingredients), as well as protein bars and thawed Greenland ice for water, during the 60 days stay from October 2 until November 30. Since this was an extreme isolation experiment, the team was carrying two satellite phones and rifles in case of any dangerous encounters with wildlife. The location where the space architects stayed recorded temperatures of -28☏ (-16☌). The habitat locks its rigid aluminium frame when fully expanded.Īnother big design element of Lunark is that it has the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -49☏ as well as wind speeds of 55 miles per hour. Lunark has been designed to land on-site completely equipped with “furniture, food and other resources,” the report mentions. The shelter can expand from 102 cubic foot to an impressive 607 cubic foot, making it easier to transport to the moon on a rocket. ![]() The men camped in a shelter named ‘Lunark’, a 1,700kg “origami-inspired foldable,” quotes a report by Daily Mail. Sebastian Aristotelis and Karl-Johan Sørensen completed the achievement as part of a design firm called SAGA Space Architects. ![]() The idea was to stimulate the harsh conditions on the Moon to figure if survival is possible there or not. ![]() The duo has completed a two-month stay in a collapsible shelter in a remote part of Greenland. The newfound hope is thanks to two Danish citizens that identify themselves as space architects.

The mystery is even more persistent for common folks with no background of being an astronaut. No comments will be published until approved by editors.As space firms, private and state-run alike, plan to colonize the magnitude of space, the standard question that looms is whether humans will be able to survive in the harsh conditions faced outside Earth.

This area has been chosen as it is said to mirror most closely the conditions on the Moon. SAGA plans to build and test the Lunark over a three-month expedition in the Arctic regions of Northern Greenland this September. The Danish company has also developed a “digital twin” of the Lunark, which monitors the current state of the actual Lunark using AI to help automate* maintenance and then print the necessary replacement parts with a 3D printer on-board. Similar technology is now used on some long aeroplane flights on Earth.Ī weather simulator* that might display a storm one day, sunshine another and a rainbow the next is also in development stage. The ceiling changes colour throughout the day to signal the time of day – day for awake time and night for sleeping. Like something straight out of a sci-fi film or a NASA rocket ship, the Lunark comes complete with a complex lighting system that helps its residents stick to good sleep routines.
