The European Space Agency (ESA) recently launched a satellite to examine the product of climate change variations, but its ambitions go far beyond focusing installing a permanent space base on the moon.
” my intention is to build a permanent base on the moon, an open station to different member states around the world, including Americans, Russians, Chinese, Indians, Japanese and even other countries with smaller contributions, “said Jan Wörner, director of ESA.
the aim of this project is that humanity can explore and exploit metals, minerals and ice water available in the natural satellite of the planet.
this ambitious plan is not easy as it runs the risk of cosmic solar radiation, micrometeorites and extreme temperatures. However, scientists and shuffle options to overcome these difficulties: “We can occupy floors moons to build radomes, build a structure or LEM habitable, we believe that can be made possible,” he said the Irish scientist Aidan Cowley
Cowley said the plan is to land a robot vehicle that inflates a dome as a basis to build the protective layer for astronauts to take shelter safely. However, ESA has indicated that it needed further 20 years at least so that the technology is ready to make it happen.
“This is a great development cycle that restart has to return to from the rockets that will lead to the orbit until the spacecraft carrying astronauts to the moon and help them land, “says Andreas Mogense, astronaut institution of the Old Continent.
