Team 01

Space QOL & System Designing Team

As the head of the project, this team assumes that humans will stay for a long time on the moon and be exposed to certain environmental conditions, such as microgravity and low pressure. The team aims to design a safety net that will assure safety, security, and medical help during their stay. The team will also develop appropriate systems for a comfortable stay, while extracting essential technologies.

    Research on system design of spacecolonies and space implementation of related technologies

    Technologies in a wide range of fields are necessary to maintain the closed environment, in order to turn the concept of space colonies into reality. It is inefficient and impractical to develop the underlying technologies so that they can only be used in space. Meanwhile, we have developed high-performance space equipment by installing ground-based civilian technology. The team aims to enable space colonies by utilizing such technology in space and to turn the technology now being studied mainly for use on Earth into a technique that can be used in space.
