052 Moon Ville
‘Moon Ville’ is a visualization of a permanent Moon settlement in the year 2050. It provides living and workspace for 100 inhabitants and visiting tourists. Its South Pole location allows continuous use of sunlight energy to power the infrastructure and greenhouses, which recycle air and water and provide fresh food for the lunar villagers. Mining of regolith – lunar soil – allows the production of oxygen to fuel rockets returning to Earth. Large deep space telescopes located within craters will provide new insights into yet unknown galaxies.

'Moon Ville' è la proposta per un insediamento permanente ambientato sulla Luna nel 2050. Il complesso offre spazi abitativi e di lavoro ed e’ capace di accogliere 100 abitanti e turisti. La sua posizione al Polo Sud permette l'uso continuo di energia solare per alimentare le infrastrutture e le serre, che riciclano l'aria e l'acqua fornendo il cibo fresco per gli abitanti del villaggio lunare. L'estrazione di regolite - sabbia lunare - consente la produzione di ossigeno per alimentare i razzi per il ritorno sulla Terra. Ampi telescopi situati all’interno dei crateri forniranno la possibilità di osservare nuove intuizioni in galassie ancora sconosciute.

'Moon Ville' est un projet de base permanente lunaire pour l’an 2050 proposant des espaces de vie et travail pour une centaine d’habitants et des touristes de passage. Sa position au pole sud de la Lune garantie la possibilité d’utiliser l’énergie solaire en continu pour faire fonctionner les infrastructures et les serres. Celles-ci assurent le recyclage de l’air et de l’eau et fournissent également des produits frais pour les habitants. L’exploitation de régolite – sol lunaire – produit l’oxygène nécessaire à alimenter les lanceurs retournant sur Terre. De larges télescopes spatiaux installés à l’intérieur des cratères donneront des informations sur des galaxies encore inconnues aujourd’hui.
