Japan, in collaboration with Kyoto University and Kajima Corp, is developing a ground-breaking lunar habitat using artificial gravity, aiming to make space colonies a reality by the 2030s.
Japan is making progress towards establishing human life on the Moon, with Kyoto University and construction firm Kajima Corp joining forces to develop a lunar habitat designed to generate artificial gravity, as reported by local media on Sunday.
The "Neo Lunar Glass" initiative intends to build a rotating paraboloid structure that will create gravity to replicate conditions similar to those on Earth. A prototype on Earth is projected to be finished by the 2030s, according to Kyodo News.
"This project requires significant technological advancements, but we are committed to achieving this goal and laying the foundation for space colonies," said Yosuke Yamashiki, a professor of advanced integrated studies in human survivability at Kyoto University.
The proposed Lunar Glass structure will have a diameter of 200 metres and a height of 400 metres, accommodating up to 10,000 people, as per the agency’s report.
The project is scheduled to kick off in the current fiscal year.
